Linfield hit the goal trail again as they swept Dungannon Swifts aside 5-0 to cut the gap on league leaders Larne to four points.
Three goals in four minutes at the start of the second half from Joel Cooper, Ethan Devine and Kirk Millar sealed the points for the Blues adding to first half goals from Chris McKee and Devine.
Linfield broke the deadlock on 17 minutes as McKee coolly slotted past Declan Dunne as he latched on to the loose ball after Devine had been upended on the edge of the box.

It was the visitors who scored again just past the half hour mark as Devine showed good composure to fire past Dunne after Millar had picked him out with a superb through ball.
The hosts were still looking dangerous on the break though and Chris Johns had to block from Jordan Jenkins in the 43rd minute before Joe Moore lashed the rebound wide.
Right on half time the Swifts were looking for a penalty after Cushnie went down under a challenge by Jamie Mulgrew, but referee Ben McMaster was unmoved.
The game ran away from the hosts three minutes after the restart as Linfield doubled their lead.
First Dunne misjudged Cooper's low shot across the face of goal and it nestled in the corner, then seconds later Devine bagged his second with a close range finish after a deflection off Mayowa Animasahun.
The Blues were showing no mercy as Millar added a fifth in the 51st minute with a delightful curling finish from outside the box.
It could have been worse for Dungannon as Jimmy Callacher missed in front of goal before Millar struck an upright.
With the points in the bag David Healy brought on 15-year-old Braiden Graham for his debut, becoming Linfield's youngest ever player in their history.
