With just two games to go, Shelbourne continue to lead Derry City and Shamrock Rovers by two points

Damien Duff blamed his lucky runners for his touchline spill, but hailed his Shelbourne aces for standing tall in the title race.

Duff ended up on his backside while celebrating Boyd’s equaliser, slipping on a muddy patch after racing up the sideline - and it was captured on live TV. He laughed it off afterwards and insisted he won’t be reaching for studded footwear while he watches games.READ MORE: Extraordinary scenes as row breaks out in main stand after Dundalk relegated

Shels had only won once in 10 games going into the Waterford clash and that led to people questioning their title credentials. But the Reds produced a big win when it mattered, and particularly so with Derry City, Shamrock Rovers and St Pat’s all winning to keep the heat on. Duff feels the Waterford win was a significant moment in their season and praised his players for responding to the ‘beautiful tension’ at Tolka Park.
