Derry City bagged all three points with a much needed 3-2 win over Galway United at Eamonn Deacy Park.
Daniel Mullen gave the candystripes a 16th minute lead which was cancelled out by a Patrick Hickey equaliser just before half-time.
Robbie Benson (pictured) put City ahead with a great strike two minutes into the second half and Galway then had Cian Byrne sent off for a second yellow card offence.
But in a tough battle – ten players went into the referee’s notebook – the visitors made it 3-1 on 90 minutes through Gavin Whyte.
Vincent Russell Borden pulled one back for the Tribesmen but it was too little, too late.
