Brennan ensures deserved win for St Pats

A stunning free kick goal from Killian Brennan gave St. Patrick's Athletic a deserved 1-0 win over a sluggish Derry City at the Brandywell to see the Dubliners move back top of the Premier Division table, two points clear of Dundalk.

The game could scarcely have begun better for St. Pat's who were what proved their matchwinning goal up as early as the third minute. A clumsy challenge by Shane McEleney on Shane McFaul gave away a free kick some 25 yards out. And midfielder Brennan brilliantly curled the ball up and over the wall in into the net off 'keeper Ger Doherty's right-hand post for a superb eighth goal of the campaign.
