The Reds started the second half with intent and were denied by the woodwork in the opening two minutes when Teegan Lynch’s effort struck the crossbar after Glentoran’s defence failed to clear Kirsty McGuinness’ free-kick.

The early pressure would pay off though as Caitlin McGuinness’ first time strike from Naomi McLaughlin’s cross found the bottom corner in the 48th minute.

The stand-in captain then levelled the game on 62 minutes when she linked up with McLaughlin once again, this time to nod home her in-swinging corner at the near post.

In a tale of two halves, Cliftonville then looked the more dangerous with Glentoran struggling to break into the final third.

The Reds would complete the comeback with McLaughlin’s free-kick nodded on by Morgan into the path of Callaghan at the back post and she headed home.

Things went from bad to worse for the Glens with Kascie Weir shown a straight red card for a foul on Morgan in additional time.

The Reds weren’t done there and sealed the win on 94 minutes when McLaughlin bursts into the box and squared the ball for the unmarked substitute Devine to steer home.
