Bohs make it four on the spin

Bohemians 3, Shamrock Rovers 2 (result)

Bohs made it four win on the spin to stay comfortably top of the Premier Division table with this rousing victory over arch-rivals Rovers.

Paul Keegan fired Bohs in front on 24 minutes from Glen Crowe's cross before Crowe headed the first of a brace on the half hour.

Noel Hunt led the Rovers fight back with a goal five minutes later before Crowe all but sealed the Gypsies' win when making it 3-1 on 73 minutes.

Sean Francis gave Rovers hope with their second goal deep into stoppage time but Bohs held out to maintain their one hundred percent start.
