WATCH! Did we witness one of the greatest ever League of Ireland goals tonight?

You need to see Conan Byrne’s audacious strike for St Pat’s against Bohs.

ONE OF THE finest League of Ireland goals was scored tonight as St. Patrick’s Athletic’s Conan Byrne conjured a moment of audacious skill to find the net from inside his own half.

Pat’s were taking on Bohemians in a Dublin derby at Dalymount and were already leading 1-0 thanks to Christy Fagan’s opener.

Then, right on the stroke of half-time, Byrne spotted Bohs’ goalkeeper Shane Supple off his line, pounced on a loose ball and delivered an inch-perfect lob that flew straight to the net.

Byrne would grab another before the end while Kurtis Byrne added a fourth as Pat’s racked up a resounding derby victory.

But the game will be remembered for one of the best goals we’ve ever seen in Irish domestic football.
