Derry City leave St Patrick's Athletic reeling at Richmond Park
There are statements of intent and there is this demolition of one supposed title challenger by another in front of the latter's own crowd, another large if sullen one, by the Camac. What seemed a 50-50 game became a massacre by the interval as City, league leaders, made a total mess of Saint Patrick's Athletic before a shellshocked audience in Inchicore, the visiting fans realising they were watching perhaps the best Derry City side there has been. A three-goal lead at the break flattered Pat's. "Half time. The score doesn't lie," posted Saints' Twitter account. It would get worse. The game was long over.
