BLUES GO NINE UNBEATEN
Linfield stretched their Danske Bank Premiership unbeaten run to nine games with a four-goal defeat of Dungannon Swifts at Windsor Park.
Chris McKee opened the scoring as early as the sixth minute after converting a low cross from close range.
Eetu Vertainen added a second just after the half-hour mark with a stylish finish into the top corner, before Cameron Palmer made it 3-0 early in the second half after McKee had deceived keeper Declan Dunne with a back heel.
The Swifts were reduced to ten men late in the game following Caolan Marron's dismissal but there was still time for Liam McStravick to add a fourth for the Blues after an initial effort from Jordan Stewart came back off an upright.
