Dylan Watts the hero for 10-man Shamrock Rovers in UEFA Conference League

Dylan Watts was the hero for 10-man Shamrock Rovers in the Conference League last night.

His injury-time header secured a 1-1 draw for Stephen Bradley’s side at Tallaght Stadium, despite the second half red card shown to Neil Farrugia.

It meant a vital point for the Dublin side, which hung on at times against the impressive Cypriot side APOEL.

APOEL had taken advantage of their extra man following the sending off to score in the 59th minute courtesy of Konstantinos Laifis.

Stephen Bradley emptied his bench to organise a comeback, and it paid off with Watts injury time equaliser.

Rovers’ next opponents are Larne who also had a man sent off in their 3-0 defeat away to Molde.
