Brendan Rogers the hero as Derry stay unbeaten with league win over Dublin
DERRY TOOK THEIR unbeaten run to nine games with victory over previously unbeaten Dublin at a packed Celtic Park on Saturday night in the Allianz Football League.It was a late Brendan Rogers point in stoppage time to cap off a comeback that had Niall Toner’s third goal of the season at its foundation.
When Rory Gallagher’s side got off the mark it was a penetrating run from Conor McCluskey that led to a Paul Cassidy score after a shimmy inside his marker.A high ball into the Derry defence from Brian Fenton put Dublin back in front and they took control as the home side passed up four chances in an 11-minute scoreless spell.
Dublin were ahead 0-7 to 0-2 at half-time before Tom Lahiff fisted them further in front early in the second half. Ethan Doherty curled over a fine score when Derry needed a lifetime.Gareth McKinless made the difference for the turning point of the game. He cut inside before spooning the ball across to Niall Loughlin, who dropped the ball under the pressure of Michael Fitzsimons’ tackle, paving the way for Toner to slot home at the far post.
