Hello and welcome along to Tuesday's Football Daily. I'm Phil Egan. Coming up today, Shamrock Rovers win the Dublin Derby late on thanks to a goal from Enda Stephens. Cork City extend their lead at the top of the First Division and after surviving relegation this season, can Spurs put that behind them and kick on next season? But first, Shamrock Rovers came from behind to beat Bohemians 2-1 at Daly Mount Park. in a full-blooded Dublin derby in the Premier Division. Ross Tierney put bows ahead in the first half. Alan Reynolds' side went close to a second, but they were made pay for it. John McGovern was only on the pitch when he scored the equaliser for Rovers with 17 minutes to go. And then in the fifth minute of injury time, Dylan Watts picked out the head of Enda Stephens, who scored his first ever League of Ireland goal.
It sparked wild celebrations from the Rovers' players, staff and fans in the away section. After the game, speaking to Shamrock Grover's in-house media channel, manager Stephen Bradley said he felt his team deserved the win.
Yeah, it does. Because I felt we deserved it, to be honest. I thought we needed a reaction from Friday night and we got that. I thought the players were excellent in every regard. They showed real bravery to play and stick to the game plan, even when we went one down, to stick to it. That shows real courage and character, especially after losing two games. Yeah, it's always nice to win Dublin derbies, but when you win them late on like that, it's nice.
And the Rovers boss added that moments like that are why you play football.
Yeah, that's why we're in the game. To celebrate moments like that with the team and with the fans. That's what it's all about, especially Dublin derbies and especially when you're one behind and away from home and you come back and win the game. That's why we're in the game, especially moments like that.
The win means Rovers are five points clear of second place St. Pat's who have played a game less. Rovers are six ahead of Bowes in third. Rovers next game on Friday night is against Pat's at Tala Stadium and you'll be able to hear live commentary of that match and news talk and the Go Loud app from seven o'clock. I'll be joined in the commentary box by Richie Towle for that one. Elsewhere last night, it finished nil-all between Derry City and Shelburne at Celtic Park, a result that leaves both sides in fifth and sixth respectively. In the first division, Cork City beat Treaty United 1-0 in Limerick. Rory Keating scored the only goal of the game. Cork are now 12 points clear at the top, Treaty remain bottom.
What happened in the Dublin Derby between Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians?
One game in the women's Premier Division tonight. It's Waterford against Shamrock Rovers at the RSC. Rovers know a win would move them up to third place. And that game starts at a quarter to eight. Pep Guardiola has bid an emotional final farewell to Manchester City.
Thank you so much. I don't have enough gratitude. And always I will have the rest of my life sadly on my heart. Thank you so much.
Thousands of fans gathered in Manchester yesterday to celebrate Guardiola's legacy at the club. Basketball legend Michael Jordan was one of the many stars to pay tribute to Guardiola, who led the club to 20 trophies during his 10 years in Manchester. The top scorer in the Premier League, Erling Haaland, says they'll be ready to battle for more silverware.
It's been an up-and-down season, let's be honest and say this. Thank you for that.
How did Shamrock Rovers secure their victory in the Premier Division?
But again, we're going to try to keep pushing. We're going to try to keep fighting to win the biggest trophies that we can win.
Last night on the football show, Oli Holt and Oliver Kaye joined Owen Sheahan and the standards of the very best of the Premier League teams were debated and if it was an entertaining season in general.
