Bohemians winning run continues

Shamrock Rovers 1 Bohemians 2

Champions-elect Bohemians came from behind in the big Dublin derby to make it 10 wins on the spin and stretch their lead at the top to a remarkable 19 points.

Rovers had a Jekyll and Hyde start as they were reduced to 10 men before taking the lead.

Darragh Maguire was dismissed for a professional foul when tugging back Neale Fenn on 17 minutes.

Three minutes later they took the lead when Tadhg Purcell shot home Sean O'Connor's corner.

Bohs levelled on the stroke of half-time when Fenn and Glen Crowe set up Gary Deegan whose shot entered the net off a post.

Substitute Mindaugas Kalonas then won it for Bohs with virtually his first touch on 74 minutes, rifling home off his left foot from distance.
