Derry came from behind to go third in the table as they made it six wins from seven games.

Drogheda beat Derry in the opening match of the season and they shocked them again to take the lead after just 90 seconds.

Derry defender Paddy McLaughlin failed to control a cross from Stuart Taylor and Dom Tierney nipped in to drill the ball home.

Derry levelled on 43 minutes with Sean Friars volleying home Liam Coyle's cross.

Coyle then won it for Derry when lobbing Gary Rogers a minute into the second half.
