 Mark Parker scored the winner for Larne at Stangmore Park |
Mark Parker volleyed in the winner four minutes from time to seal Larne's progress to the quarter-finals of the Nationwide Irish Cup. Dungannon Swifts had gone in front on five minutes when Gary Fitzpatrick headed in from Shane McCabe's cross.
Jeff Hughes rounded Swifts keeper Stuart Addis to equalise in the 24th minute but Larne went down to 10 men when Ross Black was sent-off.
"It was harsh dismissal. The lad was in tears," said Larne boss Jimmy McGeough.
"I was shocked by the decision, it was really unjust.
"But we put in a great display. Even when we were a goal down I was confident we could come back."
Larne had another man sent-off in injury-time after Gary Wray picked up his second yellow card.
