Shamrock Rovers have taken a big step towards retaining their Airtricity League of Ireland title with a 5-0 win over Drogheda United.
While Drogheda has proved uncomfortable opponents in the past, Stephen Bradley's side got off to a quick start, as they went 2-0 in front with goals from Trevor Clarke and Richard Towell after 15 minutes.
They scored their third just before half-time through Johnny Kenny, in what was a dominant first half performance. They kept up the pressure in the second half, as further goals from Neil Farrugia and Markus Poom rounded off a comfortable night.
The victory puts them closer to their fourth league title in a row, as they face St Patrick's Athletic on Friday night, with a win securing the title.
