Glentoran and Glenavon took a point apiece from a six-goal Irish Premiership thriller at the Oval on Wednesday night as the game ended 3-3.

Goals from Michael O’Connor and Harry Lynch had the visitors 2-0 ahead at the break but a Joe Thomson strike and a double from Jordan Jenkins saw the hosts move 3-2 ahead.

Paul McGovern grabbed a leveller in the exciting encounter but the draw sees second-placed Glentoran sit three points clear of Larne in the battle for the runner-up spot which would guarantee European football.

Meanwhile Dungannon Swifts ran out 2-0 victors over Cliftonville at Solitude courtesy of James Knowles’ free-kick and a John McGovern goal.

The win consolidates Swifts’ place in the top half of the table as they lie fourth and still in the hunt for that coveted second position.
