MONAGHAN UTD 0
DUBLIN CITY 2
DUBLIN CITY returned to the top of the First Division with a comfortable win over a poor Monaghan side at Century Homes Park.
The Vikings went ahead on 54 minutes when left-back Wesley Byrne dribbled the ball out of defence into the opposing penalty area played a neat one-two before hammering the ball home.
Monaghan never looked likely to score and Byrne fired another fierce shot against the underside of the bar before substitute Robbie Collins made it 2-0 11 minutes from the end.
