Linfield crush Crues to lift Irish Cup

Mark McAllister's two first-half goals set Premiership champions Linfield on the way to an emphatic 4-1 win over Belfast rivals Crusaders in the irish Cup final.

Crues skipper Colin Coates pulled one back early in the second half but Michael Carvill and Jamie Mulgrew then added further goals for David Jeffrey's Blues.

It meant a sixth Premiership and Irish Cup double in seven seasons for the Windsor Park club.
