Raffaele Cretaro and Jimmy Keohane swoop as Sligo stun Derry City

Derry City 0 Sligo Rovers 2: Sligo Rovers recorded their first back-to-back league wins of the season when shocking Derry City at the Brandywell thanks to a goal on either side of half-time.

And Derry, who lost their unbeaten record on home soil, can have no complaints as the Bit O’Red were thoroughly deserving of this victory, which all but made up for their defeat at this venue in the EA Sports Cup 10 days ago.

Sligo burst out of the traps with Derry failing to settle in the vital areas and, if the truth be told, they could have led 3-0 before 25 minutes had elapsed but for the alertness of home keeper Ger Doherty.
