Irish Premiership: As it happened

1. Cliftonville 3-0 Institute
2. Glentoran 4-1 Newry City
3. Warrenpoint Town 0-5 Linfield

Final whistle

Linfield are back on the Premiership summit and they had the look of potential champions in a one-sided encounter against 10-man Warrenpoint, The Blues are three points clear and remain unbeaten after six games while Town still have the dreaded zero in the points column.

There was a return to form for Cliftonville as Joe Gormley's double helped them to a comfortable win over Institute while Dylan Davidson's cracker was the highlight as Glentoran beat Newry to move into third place.

Thanks for your company and we'll back with more Premiership action next weekend.

What they said

We were excellent - this was a test of attitude and we got it spot-on. Our defence has been pleasing and the new players have adapted well. It's only a start but there's a good buzz here at the minute which is good for the management.

Cliftonville v Institute result

Linfield looking good - Major

It was a complete performance from Linfield. One of the criticisms last season was their lack of creativity from open play but they had that tonight. It was too much for Warrenpoint to cope with and it was one easiest games Linfield have had in a long time.

Missed penalty

Newry get a penalty right at the end, awarded against Calum Birney for climbing all over an opponent. But Stephen Hughes cannot make it count as home keeper Elliott Morris touches it onto the post.

It was the last kick of the game.

All so easy for leaders Linfield

More goals to come for Blues?

Linfield have come out tonight and shown a good attitude - I expect them to score more goals. David Healy will want his team to play the game out now and just be professional.
