Leaders Glentoran thrashed Lisburn Ladies 8-0 at Blanchflower Stadium to remain top of the Women's Premiership table.

Their rivals Linfield remain two points behind as a late Eve Reilly goal helped them to come from behind to beat Lisburn Rangers 3-2 at Crewe Park.

At Solitude, defending champions Cliftonville, who have two games in hand over the top two, eased to a 3-0 win against Derry City.

Glentoran were dominant from start to finish in east Belfast and raced into a 5-0 half-time lead.

Aimee Kerr netted twice with Faye Loughran, Emma McMaster and Kascie Weir also getting on the scoresheet.

Emily Wilson, Demi Vance and Sophie McKnight added further goals in the second half to complete the thumping.

Linfield were in danger of losing ground in what looks to be a three-horse title race as they trailed 2-0 after 55 minutes against Lisburn Rangers.

Quick-fire goals from Reilly and Megan Bell got them back in the game, with Reilly then netting in the 93rd minute to steal all three points.

Cliftonville went ahead in north Belfast on the stroke of half-time as Marissa Callaghan curled home to break the deadlock.

Reds skipper Kelsie Burrows added a second five minutes after the restart with Aoibhe O'Neill sealing all three points by scoring a penalty.
