Gearoid Morrissey's stunning strike proved decisive as 10 man Cork City came from behind to maintain their unassailable 18 point lead at the top of the table.

The champions elect withstood arguably their toughest test of the season against a battling Derry City side to keep intact their unbeaten start to the campaign which incredibly stretches to 19 games.

But they were made to do it the hard way at Maginn Park against a Derry side who made a blistering start courtesy of Barry McNamee’s seventh goal of the season after 14 minutes.
