Ballymena United won for the fifth match in a row as second-half goals secured victory over derby rivals Coleraine on Boxing Day.

Alan Blayney saved a third-minute penalty by Coleraine's Kyle McVey after Thomas Wray had handled.

United took the lead in the 65th minute when Paddy McLaughlin's attempted clearance came off team-mate Matt Crossan for an own goal.

Kevin Kelbie made it 2-0 before Coleraine had Richard Gibson sent-off.

Substitute striker Gibson was deemed guilty of an elbowing offence and was shown a straight red card.
