Elsewhere, Carrick Rangers moved into the league’s top-six following a 2-0 victory over Coleraine at the Showgrounds while Glenavon vs Glentoran and Loughgall vs Newry City were both called off due to unplayable pitches.
Here, we have a look back at who the best 11 performers of the weekend were according to Sofascore’s data.
1. Ronan Hale (Cliftonville, Match Rating: 9.1)
It's no surprise to see Ronan Hale sitting top of the list after his two goals, including one from the penalty spot, helped Jim Magilton's Reds keep pace at the top by beating Ballymena United 3-0 at Solitude.
