Unbeaten Blues and Bannsiders living life to the max
Win-win for Danske Bank Prem's top two
Last updated 11th Sep 2017
After another weekend of goals galore, two teams remain with 100% records in the Danske Bank Premiership.
Linfield and Coleraine have not dropped a point since the beginning of the season.
David Healy’s side maintained their perfect start with a 1-0 win over Glentoran at Windsor.
They sit currently in the runners up spot with 15 points – having played one game less than Coleraine who won 3-0 away to Ards.
Healy said: "I thought it was a huge win derby match. I think it was 50-50 in the match. I am sure other people outside might think Glentoran were slightly better but if you sort of look at the chances, the opportunities the possession I thought we were the better team. "
Elsewhere, Paul Heatley helped himself to a hat-trick as Crusaders thumped struggling Ballinamallard 5-1 in Enniskillen and are fourth, a point behind big-scoring Glenavon who won again – this time 2-0 over Carrick on Friday evening.
Like Linfield, the Crues have played one game less. They face each other in what should be a cracker at Seaview on Tuesday night.
Cliftonville and Ballymena United are now starting to come good – with wins over Dungannon Swifts and Warrenpoint respectively.
Meanwhile in the Championship, Ballyclare Comrades are the only unbeaten side after five games played.
They drew 1-1 with Larne and top the table with 11 points.
Portadown, Lurgan Celtic and Knockbreda all have 10 points.
The Ports won 4-1 away to Newry on Friday night while Lurgan Celtic lost 2-1 at home today to Loughgall and Knockbreda won by a similar scoreline against Limavady.
Elsewhere, the Welders beat Institute 3-2 and PSNI thrashed Dergview 5-2
