Zayed keeps Drogs in hunt

A SECOND-HALF equaliser from top scorer Eamon Zayed rescued Drogheda United after Henrik Larsson’s goal had put Helsingborgs in the driving seat in this UEFA Cup second qualifying round first leg.

And it was nothing less than the Boynesiders deserved in a thrilling match at Dalymount Park.

Drogheda boss Paul Doolin was thrilled with his team’s second half display: “I felt we were excellent,” stated Doolin. “They are a decent side but we are a decent side away from home.”
