Derry beat Bohemians 3-2 in thrilling contest

NOTHING in life is certain but death, taxes and goals, goals, goals when Bohs and Derry City collide.

Particularly so here at Dalymount Park, having played host to the game of the season last year when the sides drew 3-3 in a thriller.

Because this is the fourth time that Ruaidhri Higgins has denied them victory, after nabbing a third win here - to accompany the lone draw - since his appointment.

Previously, it was Cameron McJannett and, earlier this season, James Akintunde weighing in with late, late goals to win those games.

This time it was Bohs pressing for a dramatic equaliser after Dawson Devoy redeemed himself after an own goal to score a screamer with five minutes to play.

But there was no joy for the hosts in the end, as they counted the cost of more slack defending.
