Crusaders manager Stephen Baxter says Saturday’s North Belfast derby turned on a “handbags” moment and a throw-in that should never have been at Solitude.
Cliftonville ran out 3-1 winners over their nearest rivals to leapfrog Linfield and up to second in the Danske Bank Premiership with nine games left to play in the title race.
But it was midfielder Declan Caddell’s red card midway through the first half and the home side’s second goal that exercised Baxter’s mind most on the final whistle.
