Finn Harps have been beaten 5-0 by Longford Town in the SSE Airtricity League First Division at Bishopsgate this evening.
The home side took the lead just after the half-hour mark when Dean Williams was played through and slotted low past the onrushing Barbosa.
It went from bad to worse for Harps just before half-time when Bridel Bosakani was shown a straight red card.
Longford took advantage of the extra man and were 3-0 up after 52 minutes thanks to early second-half goals from Daniel McKenna & Darragh Murtagh.
Alex O’Brien made it 4-0 on 83 minutes before the visitors were reduced to nine men when Shaunie Bradley was given his marching orders.
James Bailey added the 5th in the 90th minute to inflict a heavy defeat on Patrick McEleney’s side.
The result means Finn Harps have now lost each of their last five games and remain rooted to the bottom of the league standings.
