It turned out to be a very convincing one for Linfield. They made it look easy, but their work-rate was phenomenal. In the first half Euan East was outstanding, marauding runs from left back.

Coleraine didn't get close enough to lay a glove on Linfield and make it competitive.

Substitute Leon Boyd steers home from close range to score a late fourth for Dungannon.

Substitute Stewart Nixon races through to score Crusaders' fourth goal at Lakeview Park.

A game full of effort but unfortunately for fans, no goals.

Glenavon had the better chances, with Harry Lynch having his effort saved when one-on-one with Daniel Gyollai.

The visitors will also be the happier with the point though as it is back to the drawing board for Declan Devin's side.

All over at the Showgrounds where league leaders Linfield stroll to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Coleraine.

Joel Cooper fired the visitors in front with his fifth goal of the season after 20 minutes and a Rory Brown own goal doubled Linfield's side's lead.

The points were secured four minutes before half-time when Kyle McClean capitalised on some poor Coleraine defending to make it 3-0.

The home side side came closest to scoring just before Linfield's third when Matthew Shevlin headed against a post but they were well beaten by a rampant Linfield who stay top of the Premiership table.

The final whistle goes and it's a sixth successive league win for Ballymena United.

Ethan Devine's goal on the stroke of half-time settles the issue as Ballymena soak up huge amounts of Portadown pressure on a frustrating afternoon for the home side.

Four goals in the second-half earns Crusaders the three points at Lakeview Park.

Dungannon Swifts hit Carrick Rangers for four, with the hosts climbing to third place in the Irish Premiership in the process.

That's eight straight defeats now for Stuart King's side, who are firmly rooted to the foot of the table.

Substitutes Andrew Mitchell and Leon Boyd added to Dungannon's two goal lead at half time with their two second half strikes.

Emphatic victory for Rodney McAree's side.

The fourth official indicates four minutes of additional time.

Shamrock Park has been a hotbed of stoppage time goals this season but Portadown have never needed one more than now.

Three additional minutes to be played.

Ben Kennedy is played into trouble by a stray Sean Brown pass and his sliding challenge on Luke Wilson brings the most obvious yellow card ever.
