Title race setback for Derry City after draw with Dundalk

Derry City's title challenge has suffered a setback as Dundalk earned a point at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.

John Mountney's first half header gave the relegation-threatened Lilywhites the advantage at the break and while Mullen levelled things just after the hour mark, Derry were unable to score a winner.

The draw means Derry now sit two points behind leaders Shelbourne, with Damien Duff's team also having played two games less.

Dundalk took the lead on 22 minutes as Daryl Horgan's left-wing corner to the near post found Mountney and the winger's glancing header at the near post flew into Brian Maher's bottom right-hand corner.
