Ten-man Bohemians survive late scare to win at Dundalk and go joint top

Bohemians survived a late scare before holding out for victory against Dundalk at Oriel Park to move joint top of the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division table.

A first-half penalty from Colm Whelan and a 68th minute strike from Ross Tierney looked to have Alan Reynolds’s men cruising to victory, but a Daryl Horgan penalty two minutes from the end, followed by the dismissal of Cian Byrne for a last-man challenge a minute later, set up a nervous finish, in which the home side hit the crossbar.
