ANDY LYONS and Danny Mandroiu played the pantomime villain roles to perfection as they haunted Bohs at a bouncing Dalymount Park.

But he opened the scoring early before Mandroiu ruthlessly snuffed out any semblance of hope the hosts had of a revival, scoring seconds after Junior's 68th-minute lifeline.
Noticeably fired up, the champions tore into their arch enemies from the start and James Talbot had to make a number of saves either side of Lyons' goal.
