Shamrock Rovers have moved nine points clear at the top of the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division table.

The Hoops came from behind to beat Drogheda United 2-1 tonight at Sullivan and Lambe Park.

George Cooper had given the hosts an early advantage, but Graham Burke and Aaron Greene both found the net to give the visitors all three points.

Elsewhere, at Richmond Park, Shelbourne beat St Patrick's Athletic 1-0

Ali Coote's 10th minute effort was the difference between the sides.
