Larne let a first half lead slip to Linfield as the Invermen fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat on Tuesday night.
Leroy Millar fired the home side in front midway through through the first half, and struck the post soon afterwards.
However, Linfield came out strongly in the second half to equaliser through Rhys Brennan, before Ethan McGee won it late on.
