Eric Lavine scored twice as Longford hit Bohs in the best way possible following the poaching of their manager Stephen Kenny by the Gypsies on Friday to leap-frog them in the table.

Bajan international Lavine struck for the opener on 53 minutes when holding off Anthony Shelvin from Alan Kirby's pass to fire past Michael Dempsey.

He doubled the lead seven minutes later when heading home Stuart Holt's corner.

Bohs ended the game with 10 men when left-back Simon Webb was sent off for taking down Alan Murphy as he raced through on goal in the 87th minute.
