10-man Drogheda stage unlikely comeback

Galway United 1 Drogheda United 2

Drogheda came from behind with 10 men tonight to deprive bottom side Galway of a first win 29 league games.

Alan Murphy gave Galway the lead on 65 minutes with a delightful chipped goal.

Substitute Dinny Corcoran levelled for Drogheda seven minutes later with a header from Tiarnan Mulvenna's cross.

Two minutes later Drogheda defender Alan McNally was sent off for a bad challenge on Mikey Gilmore.

But Drogheda then won it with nine minutes of normal time to play when Galway defender Sean Kelly headed into his own net.
