On the night the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division title returned to Oriel Park, Dundalk FC served up a five-star display against managerless Sligo Rovers.

Dundalk manager Stephen Kenny believes his side still have work to do to regain the league title this season but knows they can take a huge step towards completing the job tonight by beating Cork City on their own patch for the first time since April 2015.

Coventry managing director Paul Fletcher has refused to be drawn on whether Iain Dowie is on the shortlist for the vacant manager’s job at the Ricoh Arena.
