Hugh Dickson was the Glenavon matchwinner

Glenavon overcame Cliftonville in a five-goal thriller at Mourneview Park.

Liam Boyce tapped in for the Reds on 48 minutes but Trevor Molloy equalised after chesting the ball down and drilling past John Connolly after 52.

Boyce grabbed his second with a flick header from a Barry Holland cross on 69 but Tony Grant found the net with a header from Paul Carvill's cross on 70.

Hugh Dickson headed in the 75th minute winner but was injured and carried off while Holland was sent-off after 90.

Ciaran Donaghy was also injured in the collision with Dickson and was replaced by Ciaran Boyd.

Willo McDonagh volleyed just over the bar in the seventh minute and shot over on 14.

Tuda Murphy then raced off his line to deny Chris Scannell in the 31st minute before the goals came in the second half.

Holland was dismissed for his second yellow card offence in the final minute, a wild lunge on Shea Campbell, after fouling Molloy four minutes later.
