The Danske Bank Premiership season’s first Big Two derby bragging rights belong to Linfield.

David Healy side beat Glentoran 1-0 at the Oval last night – thanks to another wonder strike from in-form front-man Michael O’Connor (main picture with Healy).

The Blues are now the only unbeaten side in the Premiership – having taking at least a point from all of their 12 games.

They are now breathing down the necks of league leaders Glenavon.

Last night's win mean they are just one point behind on 24 points.

Glentoran are fourth on 15 points but they do have a game in hand.
