Luke Dennison the hero as Drogheda beat Derry on penalties to advance in FAI Cup
Luke Dennison proved the hero for Drogheda in an emphatic penalty shootout victory over 10 man Derry City at Brandywell as the FAI Cup holders progressed to the quarter finals. The American goalkeeper saved twice from Jamie Stott and Danny Mullen while Adam Frizzell fired over the bar as the Boynesiders won 3-0 on penalties with Owen Lambe dispatching the winning spot kick. It's one win in the last six games in all competitions for Derry with Tiernan Lynch's first season in charge threatening to fizzle out. Six times winners Derry, who were out to avenge last year's FAI Cup final defeat to the Co. Louth men, found themselves behind after two minutes. Andrew Quinn, who scored the first goal in that 2-0 cup final victory at the Aviva Stadium last November, broke the deadlock for the Boynesiders after just two minutes. Swansea City loanee Josh Thomas did brilliantly to cut the ball back into the defender's path after a quickly worked free-kick and Quinn side footed it into the net at the near post. It was a disastrous start for Derry and it could've been a lot worse but for Brian Maher's heroics when producing a stunning save to deny Ryan Brennan's close range effort on the hour mark. Five minutes later Michael Duffy produced a moment of magic to send the game into extra-time with his ninth FAI Cup goal for his hometown club and his ninth of the season. Luke Dennison denied Ronan Boyce's point blank header with an instinctive save during stoppage time in the first half of extra-time. Derry skipper Mark Connolly had the ball in the back of the Drogheda net late on but referee Rob Harvery ruled his header out for a foul on Conor Keeley in the build-up. Ben Doherty was shown a straight red card in stoppage time at the end of extra time for dissent after Duffy felt he should've had a penalty kick. The match was to be decided on penalties and Dennison saved twice before Lambe fired home the winner emphatically to send the holders through.
