Sligo Rovers' Airtricity Premier Division title aspirations took a battering at Richmond Park as St Pat's reignited their chase for a European place with a dramatic win on the banks of the Camac.

The visitors enjoyed most of the possession and the chances with Matthew Blinkhorn and sub Eoin Doyle in particular posing a serious threat to the home side.

However, Pat's netted the winner on 67 minutes when Conor Kenna's deflected header from a Stephen Bradley free beat Rovers goalkeeper Brendan Clarke.

John Dillon headed a last-minute winner to give Sligo Rovers a dramatic 2-1 victory over nine-man Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium.

Joseph Ndo picked out the unmarked Dillon and he nodded past a flying Ryan Thompson to claim a win that blows the title race wide open.

A lively first half ended without a goal with all the drama coming in the second half, starting with Pat Sullivan's dismissal.
