League of Ireland: Three points for Saints and Rovers in Friday action

The final whistles have blown on this evening's SSE Airtricity League Premier Division action — we have tonight’s scores below.

Shamrock Rovers 2-1 Bohemians

Shamrock Rovers managed to poach all three points from tonight’s Dublin derby against Bohemians at Tallaght Stadium.

Rovers held the lead for a time after an early goal from Dylan Watts, before an equaliser from Bohemians’ Ross Tierney saw the sides tied.

However, Graham Burke converted a controversially-awarded penalty fourteen minutes from time to give Rovers a 2-1 win at home.

The visitors had James Finnerty sent-off from the concession of the penalty.

St Pat’s 2-0 Finn Harps

St Pat’s sit top of the Premier Division table after a win this evening over Finn Harps.

The side led by a goal at half-time, following a first half score from Billy King.

A second half goal from Matthew Smith sealed a 2-0 win for the Saints.
