Sligo Rovers strong start to the new SSE Airtricity League Premier Division continued on Saturday night with a 3-1 home win against Drogheda United.
Two goals from Max Mata in the first half, and a cheeky back-heel from Wilson Waweru in the second, secured the points for John Russell's side.
Ahead of the international break next weekend, Rovers are on nine points from six games, seven points behind leaders Shelbourne.
John Russell gave his reaction after Saturday night's win.
