City rue Turner’s missed tumble

Yet another point for draw specialists Cork in a predictable result at Oriel Park, where Dundalk had drawn their two previous games.

However, it might have been different had referee Damien Hancock not ignored what looked a foul on Ian Turner in stoppage time as he fell under a tackle by substitute left-back Philip McCabe.

Turner was the most menacing player on the park, and home manager Darius Kierans had already replaced Nathan Murphy, but McCabe fared little better against the wide right mid-fielder.
