David McMillan stars in Dundalk stroll

The Dundalk express powered its way through the Brandywell last night, Stephen Kenny’s men enjoying what was a leisurely stroll in the park against a stunned Derry City.

Indeed, anything that could have gone wrong for the Candystripes did go wrong, the home side losing the services of skipper Ryan McBride due to a late tackle in the 28th minute when 2-0 in arrears.

A third Dundalk goal, five minutes before the interval, ended this fixture as a contest, Derry limping off at the break having been taken apart by the reigning champions.
