Tottenham Hotspur   1     (Brennan Johnson 42’)Manchester United    0Brennan Johnson struck late in the first half to finally secure silverware for Spurs after 17 years. It was a scrappy effort in a game devoid of much quality, but they and their fans will care little. A dogged, battling showing in defence helped them over the line and into paradise at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao. It was a game that the players and fans of Manchester United will wonder how they lost.

Cork City 1   (Daniels 62’)Derry City 2 (L. Boyce 25’, Holt 82’)Kevin Holt struck late on as Derry City continue their decent run of form with a win at Turner’s Cross. They had the majority of the possession but found the home side a tough nut to crack until ten minutes to go. They then held out despite a lengthy period of injury time to move level with Shamrock Rovers at the top.     It is yet another loss for the home side though.

Cork City 1 (Freddie Anderson '76)Shamrock Rovers 1 (Rory Gaffney '17)Philip Morrissey reports from Turner's CrossFreddie Anderson was an unlikely as Cork City battled back for a valuable point. The defender struck in the second half to cancel out the visitors lead as City stretched their unbeaten run to three matches. It is further frustration for Shamrock Rovers as their bid to go top stalled. They dominated possession but only had Rory Gaffney’s first half goal for their reward.

CORK CITY The home side return from the international break as they welcome the early leaders to Turners Cross on Friday. (Kick off at 7:45pm). They were boosted by a hard-fought draw at Shelbourne prior to the time off which kept up their steady beginning to their season.      They will be further boosted by the lessening of their injury list. They will be conscious to make their home advantage count though in a competitive league.
