It's all change again at the top of the Danske Bank Irish Premiership.

Linfield reclaimed their lead on goal difference last night (Tuesday) at Windsor Park with a 2-1 win over Larne.

Stephen Fallon got the champions off to a great start with a sublime chip over keeper Conor Devlin.

Larne equalised on the 65th minute when Ronan Hale struck shortly after coming off the bench.
