Leinster moved top of the United Rugby Championship as they ended hosts Glasgow Warriors' three-game winning run with a bonus-point victory.

Ronan Kelleher's early try gave the visitors a base built on by Hugo Keenan's second.

Although Jack Dempsey replied before the break for the hosts, further tries from Adam Byrne and Dan Sheehan secured a fifth consecutive victory.

Lewis Bean's late try was a mere consolation for the home side.

As Leinster move above Ulster, who visit Connacht on Saturday, Glasgow remain fourth.
