Having scored only five goals in their opening eight matches, Derry City find themselves at the wrong end of the Premier Division table. Saturday night's bizarre defeat by Dundalk at the Brandywell has left manager Felix Healy wondering what went wrong. The champions overwhelmed their Co Louth opponents but squandered chance after chance before conceding two goals in the last five minutes. The comedy of misses continued until the 70th minute when Sean Hargan scored from a Tom Mohan through ball.

Then disaster struck with five minutes remaining. Brian Byrne ran unto a loose ball and finished superbly and three minutes later Mick Doohan got the winner from a David Crawley corner.
