Joe Thomson came off the bench to score two late goals as 10-man Larne came from behind to win 2-1 at the Newry Showgrounds.
Adam Salley fired the home side in front early in the second half, before Ilijah Paul was sent off with 17 minutes remaining. However Thomson finished off two well-worked goals on 79 and 85 minutes to ensure Larne moved into third place in the table, level on points with Cliftonville.
