Derry City let two-goal lead slip against Drogheda United

Derry City drew 2-2 with Drogheda United in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at The Ryan McBride Brandywell this evening.

The Candy Stripes were a goal to the good at the break thanks to a brilliant finish from Michael Duffy on 10 minutes.

Darragh Markey had Derry 2-0 up and cruising just after the interval but two goals in quick succession for Drogs just after the hour-mark brought them level.

Mark Doyle hit the net on 62 minutes while Warren Davis’ sublime strike into the top corner made it 2-2 moments later.
