O'Neill rues poor Rovers start

Shamrock Rovers manager Michael O’Neill praised PAOK Salonika as his side saw their hopes of progressing to the Europa League knockout stages end after a 3-1 defeat in Dublin.

PAOK striker Dimitris Salpingidis’ first-half brace and Giorgos Fotakis’ goal gave the Greek side a comfortable 3-0 lead at half-time before Billy Dennehy pulled one back after the break for the home side.
