Linfield secured a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Coleraine to move to the top of the Irish Premiership. Rhys Brennan opened the scoring just before half-time with a deft lofted finish, his third goal in four games. Adam Frizzell extended the lead midway through the second half after Ben Wylie's missed opportunity gifted Linfield a counter-attack.
Kitt Nelson capped the scoring with a superb solo effort. Linfield's defence was resolute, limiting Coleraine to few chances and denying them a shot on target in the second half. The visitors, who had come from 2-0 down to win previously, could not break down the Blues' defence.
David Healy's side have conceded just 11 goals in their opening 15 games, the joint fewest in the league. This win marks a second victory over Coleraine this season and showcases Linfield's growing attacking threat and defensive resilience in their pursuit of a record 58th Gibson Cup.
