Eetu Vertainen came off the bench to help ease the pressure on reigning Danske Bank Premiership champions Linfield grabbing a late winner in a 3-2 win over Glenavon.
The Blues were made to sweat on the points as a double from Matthew Fitzpatrick deservedly put the Lurgan Blues in front with 15 minutes to go after Kirk Millar had given the hosts an early lead.
But the impressive Joel Cooper and Vertainen produced sublime finishes to raise the mood with the Linfield faithful.
