The Linfield players right from the first whistle, you could tell that they were on it and you could tell they started with a purpose. Well-drilled by the manager and really up for it.

Although the stats would have told you this was a foregone conclusion that Linfield would win this tonight, let me tell you that David Healy would have been making them well aware that stats are there to be broken and records are there to be broken. Obviously he wanted them to start on the front foot and they done that.

Here's the full-time results from across the Irish Premiership this evening.

The final whistle goes at the Oval where it's honours even after a ding-dong battle between two evenly matched teams.

The visitors had their chances to break the deadlock in the opening half but twice leading scorer Matthew Shevlin was unable to find the target.

Cammy Stewart came close for the home side, who pushed their opponents back after the break.

Rory Brown produced a fine save to deny Jordan Jenkins at the start of the second period and was again in the right place at the right time to deny substitute David Fisher in added time.

So it's a point apiece for Glentoran and Coleraine on a night when defences came out on top.

Cliftonville clinch a hard-fought victory thanks to Joe Gormley's second-half strike.

Jim Magilton's men secure their third win of the season, while Dungannon Swifts, despite a spirited performance, leave empty-handed and still searching for their first win.

Three goals tonight for Linfield who make it three wins from three games.

A comfotable night in the end for the visitors, who had the game wrapped up at half-time with three first half goals.

Joel Cooper put the Blues ahead after just 96 seconds before Kirk Millar added a second midway through the first half.

Cooper then got his second of the night with a brilliant finish with his left foot into the bottom corner, despite being off balance.

David Healy will be delighted to come here tonight and put in a performance like that and head back to Belfast with all three points.

Ballymena's players slump to their knees as referee Shane Andrews blows his final whistle.

They have put a lot into the game but ultimately, Kieran Offord's fifth minute diving header ensures the points are heading back to Seaview.

It's back-to-back victories for rookie boss Declan Caddell at the start of hie managerial reign.

The winner doesn't arrive for either side as Evan Boyce blows the full-time whistle.

Loughgall twice come from behind to claim a point after their opening win, while Portadown are now off the mark after two narrow defeats.

Both teams were clearly desperate to take all three points, but they will have to be content with a share of the spoils.

Ryan Markey comes within inches of a dream debut goal!

Destiny Ojo pulls the ball back for Markey, who meets it with a volley, but the ball fizzes past the far post, leaving Declan Dunne rooted to the spot.

Second half substitute Charlie Allen shows some tidy footwork before firing over the crossbar with his fierce left-footed strike.

We're on the blow at Mourneview Park.

A tremendous whipped free-kick from Niall McGinn is met by the head of David Fisher.

His effort is on target but Coleraine 'keeper Rory Brown is in the right place to save.

All Glentoran in added time.

Noah Stewart swivels but fires his shot over the bar.

We're deep in stoppage time at the Showgrounds.

Glenavon are knocking the ball about better now. They have grown in confidence because they haven't conceded a goal in the second half.

There will be five minutes of additional time.

Can the Swifts rescue a point?

Matthew Shevlin becomes the fourth Coleraine player to be booked, at the start of added time.

Ryan Waide gets a shot away for Loughgall but it's diverted out for a corner with McCarey rooted to his spot.

The corner is cleared but this is a frantic finish.

Dungannon nearly snatch a dramatic equaliser!

Steven Scott lets fly from distance, forcing a save that falls invitingly to Adam Glenny.

Glenny pounces, but his first-time effort sails agonizingly wide.

Six additional minutes to find a winner at the Oval.

Five minutes of added time has just begun as it's the hosts' turn to get on the front foot.

The game was over as a contest at half-time.

I think Glenavon will be happy to keep the score-line at three and likewise Linfield content with three points and they'll be hoping for a clean sheet.

They would have taken that before the game I think if it had been offered.
