Shamrock Rovers 4 Drogheda United 1

- BY PAUL BUTTNER

SHAMROCK ROVERS consolidated their lead at the top of the Premier Division table after recording their biggest win of the season to see off Drogheda United.

Goals from striker John McGovern, the first of a double, and midfielder Matt Healy was no more than Rovers' utter first half dominance deserved as Drogheda never gained a foothold in the game.

Maleace Asamoah proved a positive threat down Rovers' left flank early on, twice bringing saves Fynn Talley between the visitors' posts.
