Glentoran boss Declan Devine says he expected better game management from his team after going two goals up before Larne hit back to draw 2-2.

Joe Thomson fired home a first-half opener and completed his double two minutes into the second half to put the Oval hosts in control.

Paul O'Neill pulled one back with a close-range finish and Andy Ryan levelled from a 66th-minute penalty.

"We've definitely dropped two points - when you're 2-0 up you expect better management of the game," Devine told BBC Sport NI.

"We had a lot of experienced players on the pitch and needed to see out the 15 minutes after the second goal.

"We had a brilliant opportunity opportunity to put the game to bed and score the third. It's frustrating but there's still a lot to play for."

The result ensured league leaders Linfield won the title with an unassailable 19-point lead over the second-placed Glens with six matches remaining.

Devine's team aim to stay second to secure an automatic European spot and they sit three points clear of Larne with Dungannon Swifts a further point back.

The Oval manager lamented dropping more points and criticised his team's defending for the Larne goals.

"We've left too many points behind us in recent weeks - we take a point tonight but we have to learn from it.

"The lads were excellent up until [our] second goal. Our defending for the two Larne goals was pretty poor."
