Watch: Georgie Kelly scores brilliant late Bohs equaliser in dramatic draw with Derry City

Bohemians’ in-form goalscoring striker Georgie Kelly continued his heroics on Monday evening to secure a point from the jaws of defeat for the Gypsies at Dalymount Park.

Kelly took down a delicious ball into the box from Keith Ward to find the top corner of the net with a touch and finish.

The result sees Bohs continue their European chase with a point on a night where they may have ended up with less.

Keith Long’s side took the lead early on in the first-half thanks to a superb Liam Burt opener.

Burt caught his effort clean on the edge of the penalty area to score his 7th league goal of the season.

Derry, however, were not content to let their hosts have it easy at Dalymount, and Jamie McGonigle did his best to upstage Burt’s opener.

The former Crusaders and Coleraine forward picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area to beat James Talbot with ease, finding the top corner.

McGonigle then went from scorer to provider shortly after as he crossed into the penalty area where Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe was on hand to bundle home into the net.

That goal gave Ruaidhri Higgins’ side a 2-1 lead heading into the last 15 minutes of the game.

Derry’s second proved to be the tonic for a manic end to the game, with Bohs levelling shortly after through Kelly.

Kelly headed home, before Derry then retook the lead in injury time after James Akintunde found the back of the net with an exquisite, lobbed finish.



 

That was not enough, however, Kelly popped up at the death to secure Bohs the greatest of late points at Dalymount as their European chase continues.
