Cork City have gone top of the League of Ireland Premier Division.
John Caulfield's side secured a 4-1 win away at Drogheda United to make it nine points from nine, also seeing off a side that had won their opening two games in the process.

Second half goals from Karl Sheppard and Connor Ellis saw the away side run out comfortable winners.
Meanwhile, the winners of the last three league titles, Dundalk have also joined Cork City in winning their opening three games as they beat Limerick 1-0. Patrick McEleney got the winner for Stephen Kenny's side as the Lilywhites go second behind Cork on goal difference.
