Fagan back on Saints goal trail

Christy Fagan rediscovered his goal touch last night to keep St Patrick’s Athletic’s tenuous hopes of snatching the title alive.

The striker hadn’t scored in his previous five games and was dropped to the bench for last Friday’s win at Bohemians. But he came good last night with a stunning winner on 70 minutes.

The once again impressive Sean O’Connor whipped over a super cross from the right and Fagan flashed a header to the corner of the net for his ninth league goal of the season.
