Glenavon 1-3 Ballymena Utd

Stuart King celebrates Ballymena's first away win

Ballymena came from a goal behind to secure their first away win of the season against 10-man Glenavon.

Trevor Molloy was sent-off on the half hour and three minutes later Gary Liggett headed in an Eamon Murray corner to make it 1-0 at half-time.

Stuart King controlled the ball and shot low and hard past Tuda Murphy on 47 and David Cushley fired a left-foot shot into the bottom corner after 59.

Paul McNeill then slid the ball home from a King cross after 78 minutes.

The Lurgan Blues dominated the first half but failed to create any clearcut chances before Molloy's dismissal.

The Glenavon striker was booked for a bad challenge and then saw red after making a gesture behind the referee' s back, an offence which was noticed by one of the referee's assistants.

Liggett broke the deadlock and then saw his snapshot cannon off United goalkeeper Alan Blayney while Jay Magee also had a scoring chance.

King levelled, substitute Cushley put Ballymena ahead with his first touch and then Davitt Walsh almost made it 3-1.

King turned provider for McNeill, another substitute, to make the points safe.
