Late Ronan Curtis strike earns Derry City dramatic draw against Dundalk

Dundalk 2 Derry City 2

Fresh from their Europa League heroics on Thursday, Stephen Kenny’s side looked on course for the Aviva Stadium when Dean Shiels’ 21st minute opener against his father Kenny’s side was added to by Ciaran Kilduff’s second of the week in first half stoppage time.

However, Derry were thrown a lifeline when Rory Patterson pulled a goal back on 65 minutes before Curtis struck four minutes from the end to set up a replay at the Brandywell on Tuesday night.
