Ballymena beat Coleraine 3-2 in a five-goal thriller at the Showgrounds to move into seventh in the league table.

Andy Smith scored with an overhead kick from Philip Carson's corner in the 23rd minute but Eunan O'Kane struck home the equaliser from 10 yards on 40 minutes.

Noel Anderson rose unmarked to head in from six yards in the 44th minute to give United a 2-1 half-time lead.

Rory Patterson levelled with a 73rd minute penalty but Howard Beverland scored an own goal in the 75th.

Smith, who was captaining the side, headed wide early on, before breaking the deadlock with his second goal of the season.

The teams traded goals before the break and after Patterson's spot-kick, Beverland found his own net to settle the result.
