Crusaders have had a really good week, they have picked up seven points from a possible nine.

That has opened up a big gap to Glenavon and it is difficult to see them closing that.

Glentoran have been very impressive and have built on their performances over the last number of weeks.

The have blitzed Carrick. From the first couple of minutes, they didn't let Carrick get in behind them, they pinned them back and, once they got the first goal, there was no going back.

David Healy will be delighted with getting back to winning ways, the three points and a really good performance.

There is no shame in Bangor coming here and being on the end of a heavy defeat. They will continue their season and continue to impress, but Linfield will be hoping this will kickstart their season.

Watch how Linfield netted their sixth of the afternoon to complete a successful afternoon against Bangor at Windsor Park.

It's all over in south Belfast as Linfield get back to winning ways and hit Bangor for six in the process.

Charlie Allen started it all off for the Blues, with Matt Yates adding a second before both Chris McKee and Matthew Fitzpatrick score two each to make it six.

Harry Lynch grabbed somewhat of a consolation goal from the spot to make it 4-1 before the Blues added another two.

It's all over at Taylors Avenue where Glentoran sweep aside Carrick Rangers to claim the points.

Striker Pat Hoban helped himself to six goals in an inspired personal performance, with Ryan Cooney chipping in with six assists.

Hoban opened the scoring after nine minutes and doubled the visitor's lead five minutes later.

Two more goals in quick succession just before half-time had the Glens in cruise control before Hoban added to Carrick's woes after the break with another quickfire double after the restart.

Liam Burt got in on the act with a fabulous seventh goal for a rampant Glens team who close the gap on Coleraine with this result.

It was an afternoon to forget for the home side, who had Reece Glendinning sent off in the first half.

Full-time at Seaview and it is a comfortable win for Crusaders, who make it three games unbeaten.

Rodney McAree will be disappointed his side did not convert one of their many chances during the game.

Watch how Chris McKee scored his second and Linfield's fifth at Windsor Park against Bangor.

Two minutes of added time to be played at Windsor Park.

James Knowles hits a free-kick from the edge of the box which results in a great diving save from Musa Dibaga.

Paul Heatley is replaced by Codey James for the final few minutes of this game.

Watch how Harry Lynch netted what proved to be a consolation goal from the spot at Windsor Park.

An abundance of changes as Cameron Ballantyne and Jon Graham are introduced for Linfield with Liam Burns and Paul Osew coming on for the Seasiders.

Oli McCart leaves the game as Matthew Beattie comes on for Crusaders.

Robbie Garrett tries his luck from distance but blasts well over the crossbar from 25 yards out.

Eight minutes left on the clock.

There has been precious little for home fans to cheer about this afternoon but Paul Heatley at least forces Glentoran keeper Andrew Mills into a save with a low shot.

Ten minutes remaining at Taylors Avenue.

Linfield now lead 6-1 at Windsor Park but watch how the home side took advantage of slack defending and netted their fourth of the afternoon.

A substitution for Dungannon Swifts as Eoghan Liggett comes on for Peter Maguire.
