Sligo Rovers push for a European finish in the SSE Aitricity League Premier Division faltered again on Friday night at Tallaght Stadium as they lost 2-0 to league leaders Shamrock Rovers.
First half goals from Danny Mandriou and former Sligo Rovers player Aaron Greene did the damage - but in truth the Dublin Rovers might have won by more but for some fine goalkeeping from Ed McGinty.
Take a bow Danny Mandroiu.
The Shamrock Rovers man does it all by himself to open the scoring! ☘️
