Zayed puts race storm behind him with double

DERRY CITY striker Eamon Zayed issued a statement of intent at the Brandywell last night when netting two of his side’s goals in what was a deserved, if flattering, victory over Bohemians.

Indeed, Zayed, at the centre of a racial abuse row during last Monday’s game against Shamrock Rovers, was regularly applauded during the game and he received a standing ovation when substituted during the final minutes.

While the league’s leading striker extended his goals tally to 14, the lively James McClean played no small part in this win having fashioned two of the three goals.
