Nowak's header seals sixth win in seven for Bohs at The Showgrounds (The42)

Bohs are back on top of the Premier Division table after inflicting a second defeat of the campaign upon Sligo Rovers.

With seven minutes remaining, Bohs hit the front. A lovely one-two between Akintunde and Coote ended with the former sending a close range shot into the arms of McNicholas in the Sligo goals. James Talbot’s goal was rarely threatened, but the hosts did have one shot on target in the first-half, while the visitors didn’t see one effort on target in the first half.

Bohemians back on top after late win at Sligo (RTE.ie)

Krystian Nowak struck his first goal for the Phibsboro side on 83 minutes when he headed Ali Coote's corner past Luke McNicholas in the Rovers goal. The victory ...

Sligo goalkeeper Luke McNicholas was called into action on 57 minutes to keep out Coote after Benn’s free-kick was recycled back out the ex-Waterford man. One of Rovers’ four recent international call ups, Nando Pijnaker, went close to opening the scoring on 23 minutes. Both the German loanee and Estonian international Vastsuk played their part down the Rovers right on 39 minutes, possession eventually falling to Bolger whose volley sailed over Talbot’s goal. The stopper reacted in time to smother Bogdan Vastsuk’s placed attempt from close range. Bohs arrived at the Showgrounds seeking to regain top spot from last season's runners-up Derry. In search of their first win in three and without a recognised right full-back in their squad due to injuries, Rovers made one change from their draw at Derry on St Patrick’s Day, manager John Russell relying on Estonian winger Frank Liivak to deputise for the injured Johan Brannefalk.

Rovers captain Greg Bolger’s disguised pass from a set-piece on six minutes caught out the Bohs rearguard who had to rely on goalkeeper James Talbot. While McNicholas got in front of a rasping Akintunde drive on 73 minutes following a smart one-two with Coote, the Bohs pressure eventually told seven minutes from time when Nowak (left) turned in Coote’s corner. It proved to be the hosts who had the better of things in the opening half.

Krystian Nowak headed home at the back post from a corner in the last 10 minutes for the winning goal.

There was late drama in the three minutes of injury-time at the death, as the hosts pushed hard for a leveller. Nowak climbed highest to head home at the back post from a corner in the last 10 minutes, just as it was starting to look like the Gypsies would have to settle for a point against a Sligo Rovers team that will feel they deserved a draw from an even contest. Bohemians went three points clear at the top of the Premier Division thanks to a late winner from Krystian Nowak at the Showgrounds.
