Cliftonville and Glentoran served up a thriller in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Monday night.
The Glens came from behind to earn a 2-1 win at Solitude, with Jay Donnelly's double cancelling out Jamie McDonagh's stunning opening goal.
It was a big result at the top end of the Premiership table, with Glentoran leapfrogging the Reds into second spot - and just three points behind Linfield.
And on a day when the NI Football League announced a new three-year deal with Sky Sports, the Irish League provided some fireworks in front of a global audience.
It was a thrilling clash in North Belfast, with Glentoran withstanding a late onslaught from the relentless Reds to preserve their lead and take home the points.
And football fans loved every minute of it.
Larne owner Kenny Bruce said on Twitter: "What a game, shows the quality of the Irish Premier League. @SkySports should cover many more than 4 live league games next season. Our league has a broader appeal than 1% of its games televised on @SkySports. Come on @SkySports you owe your subscribers more IL football."
Bruce added: " @SkySports your paying viewers love the IL. More live games please."
