The home side proved too strong at the Brandywell.
Waterford 0 PAT HOBAN NETTED a hat-trick against 10-man Waterford tonight to take his tally to six goals in five as Derry City recorded a third win on the spin at Brandywell.
It was his six goal for his new club, remarkably Derry’s highest scoring striker hit five last season. Advertisement Neither keeper was troubled in the opening stages but Brian Maher failed to connect with his punch when Parson’s snapshot was deflected into the air inside the six yard box but Waterford couldn’t capitalise and Derry cleared it behind for a corner.
In the fifth minute of stoppage time Derry doubled their lead when Ben Doherty floated a free-kick into the penalty area and when Connolly headed back across the goalmouth, Hoban reacted quickest and found the bottom corner with a beautifully taken overhead kick from 12 yards for his fourth goal in five matches.
