SOCCER

The Republic of Ireland let a two goal lead against Austria slip last night in the Nations League.

Troy Parrott scored a brace before Austria pulled two goals back within 6 minutes to level the tie at a sold-out Aviva.

Today is the deadline for Manchester City to appeal against the ruling that found them guilty of breaching 115 Premier League financial rules.

An independent commission revealed that City artificially inflated revenues and reduced costs to the tune of almost one billion pounds through a series of “sham” sponsor arrangements.

City continue to deny any wrongdoing.

Premier League regulations suggest any appeal should be concluded within 12 weeks.


Bohemians can move to joint-top of the League of Ireland Premier Division with a win tonight.

Alan Reynolds' side take on Dundalk at Oriel Park knowing three points would out them level with Saint Patrick's Athletic and Shamrock Rovers.

While a win for Dundalk would move them up to fourth.

Republic of Ireland international Kyra Carusa got a goal and was named Player of the Match last night in the Women's Champions League.
