That is all from us on another big day at the top and bottom of the Irish Premiership table.

At Windsor Park, Linfield reignited their hopes of retaining the Gibson Cup with a narrow win over Glentoran to move to within five points of leaders Larne.

Earlier at Solitude, Cliftonville claimed north Belfast derby bragging rights with a thumping 5-2 victory over struggling Crusaders at Solitude.

That result, coupled with Glenavon's impressive 3-1 win away to Bangor, means the Lurgan Blues are now just seven points off the Crues.

Portadown made it back-to-back league wins with a 1-0 victory over Dungannon Swifts at Shamrock Park.

We will be back on Tuesday for some more Irish Premiership action.

Night!
