Drogheda United won only their second away game of the season after 2-0 win over Finn Harps at Finn Park.

The win for Drogheda moves them into 6th place with Finn Harps dropping to 8th. Drogheda almost opened the scoring within the first 90 seconds, a deflected Elliott shot fell to Wixted but he fired over.

Wixted grabbed Drogheda's first goal of the afternoon after Damien McNulty was outfoxed by Stephen Elliott who delivered in a sumptuous for Wixted to fire into the net.

Finn Harps applied real pressure during the opening exchanges of the second half and should have been level just shy of the hour mark but Funston couldn't find that killer touch as he fired over from close range and it was Drogheda who put the game to bed with 10 minutes to go.

Colm Deasy made a darting run down the right side and his low cross found its way to Brennan who slotted home from just inside the area.
