Scott Irvine felt Carrick Rangers were hard done by as they slipped to a narrow defeat at home to league leaders Larne.
Paul O'Neill came off the bench to put the visitors ahead with a quickfire brace after Kyle Cherry had cancelled out Andy Ryan's opener after an hour at Taylors Avenue.
Cherry netted a second from the spot in additional time as Cian Bolger saw red for a hand ball on the line but the hosts could not muster an equaliser.
