VIDEO: Cork City tormented by Towell

SSE Airtricity Premier Division

Not for the first time, Cork City were unable to do so at Turner’s Cross last night, as a capacity 6,900 crowd — and the watching TV audience — saw exactly why Stephen Kenny’s team are not only champions but a side committed to retaining its crown.

And the Lilywhites had to do it the hard way too, coming from behind through two more goals from Richie Towell to end City’s unbeaten run and open up a five-point lead atop the Premier Division.
