FC Copenhagen left it late but eventually pulled out a convincing 3-0 win over Lyngby to retain their seven-point lead at the top of the Superligaen.

The visitors held on for 65 minutes before Domingues Claudemir scored Copenhagen's first. Nine minutes later Pape Diouf doubled the lead and Cesar Santin wrapped up the scoring in the final minute.

FC Nordsjaelland kept pace with a routine 2-0 win away to Koge, with goals in each half from Soren Christensen and Rawez Lawan.

Silkeborg climbed up to seventh with a 4-1 win over FC Midtjylland. Two goals in the space of five minutes from Christian Holst and Jesper Bech put them in charge at half-time.

And after Danny Olsen pulled one back for the visitors, Holst's second and a late strike from substitute Marvin Pourie wrapped up the points. The victory move Silkeborg above Odense, who were held to a goalless draw by Brondby.
