Shamrock Rovers too good for Bohemians and move a point off leaders

Just over three years on from a spectacular finish against Rovers at the same venue in the colours of Dundalk, Bohs midfielder Jordan Flores was narrowly wide of the mark off a 25-yard free-kick.

Having lost out 2-0 to the Hoops at Dalymount Park last month, Bohs sensed there was an opportunity to get the better of their arch rivals on this occasion. Yet Talbot was quickly called back into action to save from Johnny Kenny, before a significantly re-energised Rovers ultimately opened the scoring 12 minutes after the resumption.

This was a major blow for Bohs, but they were agonisingly close to restoring parity just past the hour mark. Flores played the ball in behind to front man Jonathan Afolabi and Pohls showcased sharp reflexes to prevent the former Rovers youth footballer from securing an equaliser.
