Dundalk then added a fifth on 84 minutes with Malley squeezing a shot to the bottom right hand corner for his first goal for the club. A Jake Mulraney free kick that came back off the woodwork was as close as the visitors came to a response and they found themselves 3-0 down within six minutes of the second half getting underway with Rayhann Tulloch marking his full debut with a goal as he tapped in from close range after Odumosu failed to deal with Muller’s long range effort. Stephen O’Donnell’s side had made a stuttering start to the new season with a 1-1 draw at home to UCD on the opening day followed up by a disappointing 2-1 defeat away to Bohemians a week ago but two goals inside 15 minutes at the start of the first-half and two in as many minutes at the start of the second saw them run out convincing winners against the only side to beat them at home last season.

Patrick Hoban, Louie Annesley, Rayhaan Tulloch, Daniel Kelly and Connor Malley scored the goals for the rampant Lilywhites.

They almost pulled a goal back when a good ball over the top from Jamie Lennon released Chris Forrester out on the left flank, and his cross looked like it was going to be finished by Mulraney, who probably didn’t count on the excellent intervention of Darragh Leahy. What followed was a superb delivery from the right by Malley, whose set-piece was on the head of the unmarked Hoban, as he planted the Lilywhites into an early 1-0 lead. It was an explosive start from Stephen O’Donnell’s side, who took the lead after just five minutes, with Kelly drawing a foul from Anto Breslin, resulting in a Dundalk a free-kick.

The home side got off to a dream start when they hit the front after just five minutes as Patrick Hoban stooped to head past David Odumosu from Connor Malley’s inswinging free kick for what was his 170th career goal. The Lilywhites had made a stuttering start with a 1-1 draw at home to UCD on the opening day followed up by a disappointing 2-1 defeat away to Bohemians a week ago but two goals inside 15 minutes at the start of the first-half and two in as many minutes at the start of the second saw them thump Tim Clancy’s side in some style.
