Result: Saints 3 - Sligo 2

Brandon Kavanagh scored a dramatic last-gasp penalty winner as St Patrick's Athletic twice came from behind to end Sligo Rovers' four-match winning run in a highly entertaining game at Richmond Park.

With the game deep in added time, substitute Kavanagh launched a free kick into the Sligo area where St Pat's Luke Turner fell backward to the ground in front of Sligo's Ellis Chapman who didn't appear to make any contact.

To the astonishment of Sligo players and their bench, referee Rob Hennessy pointed to the spot.

Such was the visitors' disgust that manager John Russell was shown a red card for dissent on the sideline.

Kavanagh, influential since coming on, sent Ed McGinty the wrong way from 12 yards with the game in its 100th minute.

The result ended Sligo's four-match winning run in the league to give St Pat's manager Stephen Kenny only his third league win in 10.
