Dan Murray scored a late winner for the second time in three matches as Cork came from behind for a vital win to keep them on course for the eircom League title.

Captain Murray struck on 85 minutes to steer home from a tight angle after Bohs had cleared a George O’Callaghan shot off the line.

Aidan O’Keeffe almost levelled for Bohs in stoppage time but his scuffed shot came back off a post.

Bohs roared into the lead in the fourth minute of a terrific match when Stephen Ward worked a one-two with Gareth Farrelly to shoot home off defender Alan Bennett.

O’Callaghan hit a post at the other end before a comical goal gifted Cork their equaliser on 30 minutes. Keeper Matt Gregg took his eye off Ken Oman’s 40-yard back pass and the ball ran under his foot and into the net.
