Shamrock Rovers maintained their push for the title as they easily accounted for Bohemians at Tallaght Stadium.Stephen Bradley's side beat their fierce rivals 3-0 in what was largely a one-sided affair at the Dublin venue.The Hoops opened the scoring from a corner kick three minutes before the break as Lee Grace connected with a Markus Poom corner with the resulting header flying past James Talbot in the Bohemians goal.Rovers signalled their intent with a fast start to the second half and they were rewarded with a second goal just six minutes in after Rory Gaffney danced into the box before slipping the ball to Ronan Finn, who had pushed forward from his right wing-back position.The Rovers captain showed calmness and composure to receive the ball and work the ball home from close range as the Hoops maintained their control of the game.Victory never looked in doubt as Bohs failed to offer any sort of reaction to the second goal apart from a brief spell after the Finn effort, and Rovers sealed the three points with 81 minutes on the clock.Substitute Neil Farrugia had only entered the fray when he was on hand to pick the ball up on the left side of the penalty area before taking a perfect touch with his left to set up a curling effort with his right foot that gave Talbot no chance as it flew into the far top corner.Results elsewhere saw Rovers end the night increasing their lead at the top of the table to seven points, however, they will face a tough test in their next league outing as title hopefuls Derry City will look to narrow the gap at the top ahead of the final run in.

MADRID: Jude Bellingham rescued Real Madrid with a 95th minute strike to secure a 2-1 win over Getafe on Saturday and maintain Los Blancos’ perfect start to La Liga, as they played with a closed roof at the Santiago Bernabeu for the first time. The England international netted his fifth goal in four games to snatch three points from the derby clash, Madrid’s first game without injured forward Vinicius Junior. Joselu, the Brazilian’s replacement, had pulled Carlo Ancelotti’s side level after former Madrid striker Borja Mayoral sent the visitors ahead in the first match under a roof at Madrid’s remodelled stadium. La Liga leaders Madrid started the season with their opening three games all away from home, while construction work continued. It allowed for the retractable roof to be finished and it was closed on Saturday, with rain hitting the Spanish capital — but not the players. “I think we were just winners, we did well in attack and made a lot of chances,” said Joselu. “Getafe make it difficult for you but the Bernabeu pushed us on — these fans are incredible and Madrid never give up.” Getafe did not include on loan Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood in their squad, after his arrival on Friday. The forward had been suspended by the Red Devils since January 2022 after facing allegations of abuse although prosecutors subsequently dropped the charges. Mayoral started up front for the visitors and, looking to keep his place in the side, he quickly pounced to put the visitors ahead. The striker capitalized on a heavy Fran Garcia backwards pass, nipping in to pick up the ball, round Kepa Arrizabalaga and slot home after 11 minutes. Madrid thought Bellingham had won a penalty when he tumbled under pressure from Carles
