Linfield assistant manager Ross Oliver admitted that he was unaware of the reason David Healy was sent off after the Blues’ 3-2 victory against Crusaders.
A double from Kyle McClean either side of a Matthew Fitzpatrick goal helped Linfield get back to winning ways at Seaview.
Chris Johns pulled off a stunning save late in the game to deny Crues an equaliser after ex Blues players Jordan Stewart and Jimmy Callacher had got their goals.
It appeared Healy was given a red card as he encroached on to the pitch at the very end, but Oliver did not see the incident.
“I missed what happened, when the whistle blew, I was away celebrating,” he told BBC Sport NI.
Despite the chaotic end to the game, Oliver was pleased Linfield saw out the win.
“We knew in the second half with the wind blowing down into the Railway Stand we were going to be bombarded with balls into the box, but the players dealt with it as best they could,” he explained.
“I think we had one or two chances in the second half where we could have scored another couple, I think it probably what we deserved in the end as the boys held out.”
Oliver also reserved praised for two goal hero McClean, who put in an impressive display in midfield.
“You know what you’re going to get from Kyle, he was superb in the midfield for us today, but I think everyone put in a shift for us.”
