VIDEO: Check out highlights of Derry City's comeback against Shelbourne

Joe Thomson's late goal against a stubborn Shelbourne at Brandywell was enough to keep Derry City in the title race but the Candy Stripes' bid to catch Shamrock Rovers suffered a major blow.

Eight points separate the two teams on the summit of the table and Derry simply must win all three to take the race to the final day.

It just wasn't Derry's night at a packed Brandywell on Friday night as Shels gameplan frustrated the home side who had plenty of chances to take maximum points.
