Adam O'Reilly scored a late winner for Derry
Adam O'Reilly's stoppage-time winner completed 10-man Derry City's 2-1 comeback win over Galway United at Eamonn Deacy Park and secured their first league victory in five games.
Jimmy Keohane gave the home side the lead on 17 minutes before Dipo Akinyemi's netted his second goal for the Candystripes and levelled the game before the break.
With five minutes to go, Jamie Scott received his second yellow card of the game for a late challenge, but O'Reilly fired home in the 93rd minute to snatch the victory.
The result means that Derry are now three points behind Bohemians in second and 10 points behind top of the table Shamrock Rovers.

Galway took the lead when Keohane's curling shot found the top corner after a smart move in midfield from the home side.
Just seconds later, Galway pushed forward again with Edward McCarthy's shot dropping narrowly wide.
Bobby Burns then noticed Brian Maher was off his line and sent an effort over the crossbar from inside his own half, before Maher produced an impressive save to stop Slevin's shot from range.
In the final 10 minutes of the half, the Candystripes upped the tempo with Fleming's shot cleared off the line and Akinyemi unable to keep his effort on target.
Tiernan Lynch's side levelled the game in the 43rd minute after Sadou Diallo's long cross was nodded down by Brandon Fleming into the path of Akinyemi, who reacted quickly and nodded home.

Galway nearly took the lead again just after the restart when Robert Slevin played the ball across for Patrick Hickey, but his free header was off target.
Stephen Walsh then made a crucial defensive interception to rob Carl Winchester and deny him a chance to score his first goal in a red and white shirt.
Derry City were reduced to 10 men in the 85th minute when Scott was given his marching orders for a foul on McGuinness after being cautioned already in the first half.
Keohane looked like he was going to net his second of the evening shortly after, but a superb save from Maher tipped the effort over the crossbar.
Despite being a man down, Akinyemi turned provider when he slipped the ball through for substitute O'Reilly, who steered past Brendan Clarke to secure the crucial three points.
The home side continued to push with Killian Brouder denied a late leveller by the crossbar.
