Irish Premiership: Larne inch closer to title with Linfield draw

Larne inch closer to retaining the Irish Premiership title after a 1-1 draw against Linfield.

Larne have one hand on the Irish Premiership title after a 1-1 draw with nearest rivals Linfield at Windsor Park.

Linfield, knowing it was a game that they must win to keep their faint title hopes alive, eventually began to dominate possession but failed to fashion any clear-cut chances to test Rohan Ferguson. Linfield would make the breakthrough from the resulting corner on 21 minutes with Leroy Millar inadvertently turning Kirk Millar's dangerous delivery into his own net.

Andy Ryan, who had been a peripheral figure in the game up until that point, stepped up and coolly slotted home his 23rd league goal of the season to equalise.McKee wasted a good chance to put Linfield back in front five minutes before the break, blazing over the crossbar after Daniel Finlayson had knocked down Millar's free-kick into his path.
