Sligo Rovers have beaten Derry City 2-1 in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at the Showgrounds this evening.
Having taken the lead through Paul McMullan on 54 minutes, Ruaidhri Higgins’ side were pegged back thanks to a brace from Ellis Chapman.
Chapman equalised from the penalty spot on the hour-mark and popped up to net the winner with a minute remaining in normal time.
It’s a result that will frustrate Derry as league leaders Shelbourne were held to a 1-1 draw against bottom-side Drogheda.
In other results tonight, Waterford defeated St Pat’s 1-0, Shamrock Rovers picked up a 1-0 win at home to Dundalk and Galway drew 1-1 with Bohemians.
Derry’s next outing is a Europa Conference League Qualifier next Thursday in Gibraltar.
