Hot-shot McMillan makes case for Dundalk defence

David McMillan's fourth goal of the season helped maintain Dundalk's immaculate start but the striker was keen to deflect praise on to the Lilywhite defence, who have yet to concede in five games.

The champions beat Sligo Rovers 3-0 at Oriel Park last night with McMillan opening the scoring before two Richie Towell goals sealed the three points.

Of the back five, man-of-the-match McMillan told RTÉ Sport: "That's something we have to build on, the lads at the back have been absolutely tremendous.

"It's great to get this award but they've kept five clean sheets. That sets the base for us and we can then go and score goals. It's working well."

McMillan's early-season form has meant that the loss of Patrick Hoban, who scored 20 goals as Dundalk won the league last year, to Oxford United, has not been keenly felt.

"Pat's a fantastic player, he did really well last season," said the former Sligo and UCD player.

"My chances were limited and I'm delighted Stephen [Kenny] has kept faith with me. Hopefully, I can keep scoring goals and prove him right.

"We have a young squad here. I think everybody's hungry to try and win the league again. It's been a perfect start for us but there's a long way to go and there's a lot of top teams that are going to be challenging.

"We've just got to keep working hard and hopefully things will keep going well."
