Linfield easily saw off Dungannon Swifts 5-0 to move to within four points of leaders Larne at the top of the Irish Premiership table.

Goals from Chris McKee and Ethan Devine had the Blues 2-0 ahead by the break.

Three quick-fire goals in four minutes early in the second half saw Linfield secure a comfortable three points.

Joel Cooper, Devine and Kirk Millar were the scorers for the champions who introduced 15-year-old Braiden Graham to become their youngest ever player.

Graham, aged 15 years and 137 days, came off the substitutes' bench to replace McKee with 14 minutes of the match remaining.

The visitors' victory made it 12 goals in two games for David Healy's men - this win following on from last week's 7-0 demolition of another bottom three side, Newry City.

Larne will aim to respond by restoring their seven-point advantage when they travel to face Coleraine on Saturday afternoon.
