Danny Grant put the visitors ahead with an early goal at Tolka Park, before Ali Coote netted the equaliser
Bohemians gave their season a welcome boost with their best display in some time, knocking long-term leaders Shelbourne off their perch at the top of the Premier Division table at Tolka Park.
With Shelbourne now four games without a league win, Derry City’s 1-0 victory in Waterford puts them top on goal difference, breaking a 22-match, five-month leadership at the summit for Damien Duff’s side who do have a game in hand.Emi Martínez: ‘Show-off? I just want to win the game. I don’t cross a line, I never do’Having won in Drumcondra back in mid-April, Bohemians started the brighter here again, Dayle Rooney having a venomous drive blocked by Shane Griffin inside three minutes.
All the visitors’ good work was undone within a minute, though, as Shelbourne, having been scarcely in the game up until then, were gifted an equaliser following a comedy of errors. That brought Shelbourne fully into the game as they enjoyed their first spell of sustained possession. Coote brought the second half to life five minutes in, skilfully controlling Barrett’s long ball to outfox both Liam Kavanagh and Kirk to work Chorazka at the butt of his left-hand post.
