CRUES FIGHTBACK TO STUN SWIFTS
It was a game as two halves at Seaview as Crusaders' second half fightback meant a share of the spoils with Dungannon Swifts.
The game burst into life after just 15 minutes as Tomas Galvin rifled a stunning opener, after Leo Alves' corner wasn't properly cleared by Crusaders. Firing an unstoppable shot past Tuffey into the top corner from just outside the penalty area.
Dungannon Swifts doubled their lead nine minutes later, as Dean Curry met Leo Alves' free-kick with a well placed header in a crowded penalty area, and take a two goal lead into the break.
Crusaders regrouped during the interval and were gifted the opportunity back into the game when Danny Wallace handled the ball in the box on 56 minutes, and Jordan Forsythe stepped up and scored the resultant penalty kick.
Within four minutes the Crues were level as Kieran Offord met Harry Franklin's shot with a looping header over Declan Dunne.
It set up a frantic finish in North Belfast, as Dungannon Swifts had their opportunities to claim all three points with John McGovern's effort striking the crossbar, as the stalemate meant that Dungannon missed the chance to go second in the Sports Direct Premiership table.
