Cliftonville dropped vital points in the league championship title race as Coleraine won 2-1 at Solitude.

Francis Murphy headed wide with a free header and goalkeeper Davy O'Hare saved from Chris Scannell and John Martin.

Substitute John Watt made it 2-0 on 79 after John Connolly failed to collect but Barry Johnston fired home a left foot volley past O'Hare on 77 minutes.

The Reds piled on the pressure but were unable to find the equaliser.
