Ruthless Dundalk show no mercy as stunned Saints hit for six

Dundalk 6 St Patrick’s Athletic 0: Oriel Park might be resigned to saying goodbye to the league title this season but a rampant Dundalk showed they are going to make Cork City take it from them after a six-goal thumping of St Patrick’s Athletic last night.

Before the game Stephen Kenny’s side knew they could be officially dethroned if the league leaders won away to Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght and they lost to Pat’s for the first time at home in five years.

In the end, neither scenario happened, with the Lilywhites wiping the floor with Liam Buckley’s men from the moment David McMillan’s stoppage time brace at the end of the first half put them in the ascendancy.
