Derry come from behind to secure top-three finish

Derry City 2 Sligo Rovers 1: Derry City ended their home campaign with a deserved victory over Sligo Rovers, the Candystripes securing a third place finish as they look forward to a refurbished home venue next season.

And for the second consecutive week, Kenny Shiels’ side showed great character to come from behind.

Sligo keeper Ciaran Nugent produced a string of top drawer saves, particularly during the first half, to frustrate Kenny Shiels’ charges before Derry managed to beat him twice in what proved a dominant second half display.
