CHRISTY FAGAN's 11th goal of the season and a late second from Keith Buckley burst UCD’s bubble at Dalymount.

 

In their best form of the season after four wins in five games, College started brightly.

But a sloppy pass from Hugh Douglas’ gifted Bohs the lead on 23 minutes with Buckley putting Fagan in on goal to shoot them in front.

Two minutes later winger Gary Burke teed up a volley from 20 yards which forced Mark McGinley into a diving save.

Bohs were well in command now and UCD skipper Michael Leahy made a brilliant goal line clearest to deprive Fagan of a second after Ollie Cahill’s cross picked him out on 34 minutes.

McGinley then kept College in the match early in the second half as Bohs continued to dominate, first saving with his feet from Fagan and the going full stretch to touch away Stephen Traynor’s shot.

And McGinley was there again to parry away Chris Forrester’s stinging shot from a tight angle on 70 minutes. 

But Bohs scored again on the counterattack right on 90 minutes when Traynor put Buckley away and he shot into the bottom corner.

It should have been 3-0 deep in stoppage time but Anto Flood ballooned a penalty over the bar after Ger O’Brien had been taken down by Danny Ledwith.
