Alan Reilly hit a super winner as Jimmy McGeough’s Blues came away from his native city with a precious win.

Reilly fired home on 71 minutes after man-of-the-match Neale Fenn set him up.

Peter Hutton had headed Derry level from a Gareth McGlynn cross just five minutes earlier.

Blues began well and Reilly headed against a post from a Fenn cross on nine minutes.

Derry remained under pressure into the second half and Blues opened the scoring on 52 minutes when David Mulcahy headed home a Reilly corner.

The defeat now leaves Derry in serious relegation trouble, just three points ahead of UCD at the foot of the table.
