Saints dig deep to snatch win at Dundalk

Sean O’Connor kept St Patrick’s Athletic’s slim title hopes alive with the only goal of the game against bottom club Dundalk at Oriel Park last night.

Liam Buckley’s side have zero room for error after a recent run of form that has seen them take just one win from their last five outings.

That has allowed league leaders Sligo Rovers to race 11 points clear of them.
