Linfield joined Coleraine at the top of the table with a resounding 3-1 win at the Showgrounds.

Adam Frizzell fired the visitors in front after just nine minutes before captain Chris Shields doubled their advantage midway through the opening half.

Kobei Moore's first goal for the club gave them a 3-0 advantage just before the hour mark, moments after Matthew Shevlin's goal for the hosts was disallowed by referee Evan Boyce.

Shevlin did score his fifth of the season 14 minutes from full-time but it wasn't enough to prevent the hosts slumping to a first defeat in 15 games, while David Healy's men made it back-to-back wins.

Linfield started on the front foot and opened the scoring through Frizzell after just nine minutes.

Quick-thinking from Kyle McClean, from a free-kick, released the diminutive Scot who raced through a static Coleraine defence to blast his effort high past Lewis Webb in the home goal from 18 yards.

It could, and should, have been 2-0 moments later and, again, Frizzell was involved.

This time he whipped a cross in from the left towards unmarked striker Moore who headed it straight into the hands of the keeper from six yards.
