Derry City came from behind to defeat Cork City 2-1 in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at the Ryan McBride Brandywell this evening.
Kitt Nelson put Cork ahead on 24 minutes and that is how it remained until Donegal man Ronan Boyce equalised for The Candy Stripes just after the hour-mark.
A 74th minute strike from Michael Duffy put Derry in front much to the delight of the home support.
In other Premier Division games, Galway suffered their first defeat of the season as they went down 1-0 to Shamrock Rovers, St. Pat’s and Shels finished scoreless, Drogheda have gone a point clear at the top thanks to a 2-0 win over Waterford, and Bohs beat Sligo 4-2.
