Dungannon Swifts fight back to beat Portadown at Stangmore

Dungannon Swifts fought back from a goal down to earn a merited Premiership win over Portadown at Stangmore Park.

Chris Casement put the Ports ahead on 11 minutes after great work by Sean Mackle but Andrew Burns levelled for the Swifts eight minutes later.

More poor defending from the Ports allowed Ryan Harpur to strike Dungannon ahead in the 29th minute.

Mackle hit the Swifts woodwork but Dungannon wasted other chances before Paul McElroy's superb late goal.
