Linfield recovered from a goal down to hammer Glenavon at Windsor Park. Gerard McMahon netted with a 40-yard half-volley on 21 minutes but Paul McAreavey equalised from close range after Glenn Ferguson nodded down on 27.
Tim Mouncey added the second after 37 and Ferguson scored with a penalty on 53 after Gavin McDonnell's handball.
Aidan O'Kane smashed the ball home from 10 yards after a goalmouth melee on 76 and William Murphy headed in from a free-kick with two minutes remaining.
McMahon's opener flew past Alan Mannus who was left stranded off his line.
McAreavey levelled after good work by Stephen Douglas and Ferguson while Mouncey fired home from a rebound after Paul Rice saved Peter Thompson's header.
Glenavon manager Colin Malone was sent to the stands after Ferguson's penalty and O'Kane and Murphy made the points safe.
