IT WAS a good night for Irish international Troy Parrott as promotion-chasing MK Dons beat Cheltenham 3-1.
The Dubliner found the net in League One for the first time since September as his brace inspired the Dons to victory, with goal difference now only separating themselves and second-placed Wigan, though the Latics have three games in hand ahead of the rivals’ imminent clash.
Warren O’Hora and Ireland U21 international Conor Coventry also started for the hosts, while Sean Long came off the bench for the visitors.
Elsewhere, it was a frustrating night for Wigan, as they were beaten 7-6 on penalties by Sutton United in the semi-finals of the EFL Trophy after the game finished 1-1 in normal time.
James McClean and Jamie McGrath both started, with the former scoring his side’s only goal, while Will Keane came off the bench.
All three Irish players proceeded to find the net in the shootout but it wasn’t enough to see the favourites advance against their League Two opponents.
Meanwhile, it was a night to forget for Ryan Manning in the Championship.
The Galway native was sent off in the 42nd minute for a rash challenge, and without him, Swansea proceeded to be well beaten 5-1 by table-toppers Fulham.
Michael Obafemi also started for the Welsh team.
He’s a machine. Barely any mistakes
Even his mistakes are not bad. This looks like its over before the back 9.
After 10, Its all over now.
Back to 3 shots the gap now, should still be enough. I expect him to burn up the back 9
Ya would not want to talk too soon
Poll on sky sports over 40% thought rose would win .
Dreamers, although I wouldn’t begrudge another South African winner.
Most overrated game on the planet
Has shown great composure for a 21year old,deserves to win.
Made for life now I would imagine with all that money in top golf
tournaments,the 2nd gets over a million dollars.
Congratulations to Justin as well for been 2nd.
Spieth was simply brilliant for 72 holes, thoroughly deserved and I can see that being the first of many green jackets he dons. If he carries on playing like that we should get some brilliant battles between himself and Rory over the next 10 years.
