Déjà vu for Oran Kearney as Coleraine and Cliftonville share the spoils yet again

There are a few things which are certain in life - death, taxes and Cliftonville and Coleraine drawing 2-2 at Solitude!

Remarkably Friday night's draw was the fourth time this season the two sides have shared four goals in north Belfast.

The Bannsiders led twice on the night thanks to goals from Lyndon Kane and Andy Scott, but a brace from Ronan Hale late in each half secured the Reds a point much to Oran Kearney's frustration.

“I don’t know and it’s hard to gauge why it ends up that way," he said.

“They have all been ding-dongs each in their own way and tonight was no different.

“We are frustrated with both the goals we conceded.

“I think they were both in added time in each half.

“We felt we had defended the first one poorly in relation to there’s twenty seconds until the half ends and we have an opportunity to send the ball up the pitch but we don’t.

“We gave the ball away and it’s ended up costing us.

“The second one we can easily deal with the ball before it but then we give away a really silly free-kick.

“It’s one of those where Gareth Deane and Lyndon both do their jobs in relation to the free-kick but it just clips off Michael (McCrudden) who was also doing his job and it’s frustrating."
