Larne secured a 3-0 victory against Dungannon Swifts at Inver Park to return to winning ways in the Irish Premiership, according to Yahoo Sports.
The win provides relief for manager Gary Haveron following a disappointing 4-2 loss to Cliftonville last week.
Leroy Millar opened the scoring after 29 minutes by finishing a one-two sequence with Sean Graham.
Just four minutes later, Kevin O’Hara capitalized on a defensive error by Jamie Glackin to extend the lead with a 20-yard strike.
Matt Ridley sealed the result in the second half by heading home a corner kick delivered by Graham.
Dungannon Swifts struggled to find a rhythm throughout the match and have now won only one of their last 10 league fixtures.
Manager Rodney McAree expressed frustration regarding his team’s performance, noting that they gifted the opposition their goals.
“The reigning champions are always going to be tough to play against, particularly away from home,” said McAree.
He added that his side must improve their account of themselves without the ball.
Haveron praised his squad for their tactical execution during the match.
“I felt we were dominant in the first hour,” Haveron stated.
The Larne manager also highlighted the quality of the goals and the defensive contributions from his players.
Dungannon nearly scored in the second half when Andrew Mitchell fired an effort from close range, but Larne goalkeeper Rohan Ferguson made a save.
Substitute Leo Alves also came close for the visitors late in the game with a 25-yard free-kick that Ferguson tipped around the post.
The result leaves Dungannon Swifts looking for answers as they return to the drawing board.
Meanwhile, the home side continues to focus on maintaining their form in the league standings.
The match concluded with a clean sheet for the home side, marking a significant defensive success for the team.
