Women's Premiership holders Glentoran moved back to within three points of leaders Cliftonville with a 5-0 victory against Larne.

Northern Ireland internationals Emily Wilson and Demi Vance both netted twice for the Glens alongside Aimee Kerr in their win at Inver Park.

At the Brandywell, Linfield edged Derry City 3-1 as they remained third in the table.

Wilson broke the deadlock early for the Glens, scoring after getting on the end of Rachel McIntyre's cross from the right.

She netted her and Glentoran's second with a fine individual effort on 32 minutes.

A late flurry of goals arrived in the last 10 minutes of the game with Vance coolly slotting home before Kerr netted a fourth from the edge of the area.

Vance rounded off the scoring with another neat finish.

In the northwest, Cora Chambers opened the scoring on 10 minutes for Linfield, before fellow striker Eve Reilly added a second six minutes before the break.

Shannon Dunne pulled a goal back for the Candystripes, converting from a penalty.

Substitute Eva Myles then added a stoppage time third for the Blues.
