Waterford back in second place

Waterford United 3 Shamrock Rovers 1

Vinny Sullivan scored for the fourth game running as Blues jumped back up to second place in the table.

Kevin Waters dived low to head home and give Blues a deserved lead from a Daryl Murphy cross after 27 minutes.

But David Breen, who had put through his own net against Rovers two months ago, scored his third own goal of the season when heading a Dave Mooney cross past Dan Connor seven minutes later for Rovers' equaliser.

Sullivan then restored Blues' lead when heading home Murphy's cross on 71 minutes.

Substitute Alan Carey added the third a minute later when shooting home from another Murphy centre.
