Late brace of goals keeps Derry in title race

Derry City 2 Cork City 1

Derry scored twice inside a minute at the death to stay joint top of the table with Galway and Bohemians.

Cork edged in front on 67 minutes when new Latvian striker Guntars Silagalis shot them ahead from close range on 67 minutes.

But Derry rallied late on with Ciaran Martyn rifling home the equaliser right on 90 minutes.

In a final twist, local youngster Aaron Nash then won it for the Candystripes when heading home a minute into added time.
