Shelbourne blew the chance to move seven-points clear at the top of the SSE Airtricity Premier Division last night.
Damien Duff’s side had come from 2-nil down to level their game with St. Pat’s at Tolka Park.
But substitute Al-Amin Kazeem’s late goal handed all three-points to Stephen Kenny’s charges in a 3-2 win.

Shels’ lead remains at four-points, but with a game more played than second placed Derry City.
Duff says that while their performance wasn't good enough, he says they were the victims of poor refereeing in the build up to St Pat's third goal, where he felt Shels player John Martin was fouled but the referee awarded a free kick to their opponents
