Congratulations Dundalk.
The Louth side had retained the SSE Airtricity League crown before tonight’s game against Bray Wanderers, but had another record in sight.
Dundalk put four past the Seagulls at Oriel Park and broke the record for the most goals in a League of Ireland season in the process.
Dundalk break the record of most goals scored in a season.

The record, which was previously held by Shamrock Rovers, had stood 92 years, and there was no surprise who got the history making goal. Talisman Richie Towell scored two to bring his own tally to 28 for the season from midfield.
The former Crumlin United and Celtic midfielder has undoubtedly being the best player in the country this season, and is reportedly attracting interest from clubs in England.
