Derry keep the pressure on with win over UCD

UCD 0 Derry City 2

Derry and Cork stay level on 66 points but the Leesiders have a superior goal difference and a game in hand. UCD, with just one win in their last nine league games, stay in the relegation zone with just three matches left.

Knowing fellow contenders Cork City had recorded a 2-1 victory over Bohemians at Dalymount Park earlier, Derry began in determined fashion and were in front after 13 minutes.
