Bohemians march towards a second successive League of Ireland title suffered a setback this evening as they were beaten 1-0 by lowly Sligo Rovers.
Alan Keane boosted his side’s chances of Premier League survival with a first-half penalty at the Showgrounds that the defending champions were unable to respond to.
Derry City failed to take advantage of Bohemian’s slip-up as they crashed to a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Galway United.
Despite going ahead on just four minutes through James McClean, Derry were pegged back on the stroke of half-time when David Cooke finished from close range.
Aaron Green put the visitors in from with 20 minutes remaining, drilling the ball low into the net, and former Derry striker Alan Murphy sealed the win in the 75th minute.
