The Dublin Derby once again delivered drama aplenty in Tallaght Stadium tonight as Shamrock Rovers were hit with two first-half red cards during their clash with Bohemians in the Airtricity League.

Stephen Bradley's outfit are flying high at the league currently but have unfinished business against their cross-city rivals who have had their number recently.

However, Rovers were dealt a first-half hammer blow when two of their back four were sent off within seven minutes.

Then, Lee Grace was shown a second yellow and conceded a penalty for handball. From the resulting spot-kick, Dinny Corcoran slotted home.

Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy, assistant Robbie Keane and U21 manager Stephen Kenny are all in attendance at the game.
