Coleraine boss Ruaidhri Higgins praised an "unbelievable" late goal line clearance from Dean Jarvis which preserved a point for his side against Cliftonville.In a game that lacked quality at Solitude, Joe Gormley looked destined to steer home a late winner from a Jonny Addis long throw-in, but Jarvis got to the ball first to hook it off the line.And Higgins was delighted with that contribution which saw them leave north Belfast with a draw after a decent performance."That would have been a real sucker punch [for Cliftonville to score], an unbelievable goal line clearance, it was experienced defending, and it would have been really harsh if we had left here with nothing and lost that game," he told BBC Sport NI."We had large control of the game and between both boxes, we were excellent, so, from that aspect it was really good, but our final pass and final cross wasn't on the money today. We're happy we've taken four points from two games and dominated large spells of both games, and I know we'll get better and build a very good team."
