Georgie Kelly's hot-streak continued on Thursday night as Bohemians breezed into the third qualifying round of the Europa League.
The big striker scored twice as Bohs beat Dudelange 3-0 in front of 8,000 fans at the Aviva Stadium.
Keith Long's side will play PAOK of Greece in the next round courtesy of a 4-nil aggregate win.
A 9-3 aggregate win over Rhyl in the Intertoto Cup aside, the victory was Bohs' biggest ever over two legs in Europe.
What could have been a nervy night for the hosts was settled by a Rob Cornwall headed goal ten-minutes before the break.
Who else?! 😍

Midway through the second half it was 2-0. Ali Coote floated a free-kick towards the far post, where Ciaran Kelly headed straight across goal to find a grateful Georgie Kelly. The former Pat's and Dundalk striker calmly nodded home to make the tie safe.
Bohs were in dreamland 17-minutes from time. Another Dudelange attack broke down, with Liam Burt sprinting the ball away from danger. The Scot played a slide-rule ball for Kelly to slot into the net and assure the Gypsies of a trip to Greece.
Shortly before full-time it was confirmed that the home leg of that tie with PAOK will once again be played at the Aviva Stadium.
He's done it again! 🔥
Liam Burt's brilliant run and pass is finished off by Georgie Kelly, surely @bfcdublin can't be caught now?!

Bohs' win completed an incredible night for Irish sides in Europe. Earlier in the evening, an injury-time goal from Will Patching sent Dundalk though to a third qualifying round tie with Vitesse Arnhem.
