Douglas James-Taylor notched a debut goal to earn a draw for his side.
DOUGLAS JAMES-TAYLOR notched a debut goal for Drogheda United as a late Shelbourne implosion allowed the strugglers to stun the league leaders at Weavers Park.
As the cards were waved with abandon by referee Paul McLaughlin, Duff saw red himself but not in a literal sense. The Shels boss seethed on the touchline as hopes of a victory for his side ebbed away. Wilson, whose brother JR also saw red for Sligo Rovers against Derry tonight, had given the Reds the lead. Somehow, the five-foot-seven fullback was afforded the time and space to score a header from Evan Caffrey’s corner delivery.
Drogheda, meanwhile, went very close themselves when Conor Kearns produced a diving save to deny Luke Heeney, after good work from James-Taylor. That was when James-Taylor had his moment. He confidently dispatched his spot kick past Kearns, himself an accomplished penalty saver as witnessed only recently, to send the home fans wild.
