TWO goals inside a minute of mayhem threatened to revive Dundalk's season in style and leave Derry City sick in more ways than one.
But Cian Kavanagh scored a late Candystripes equaliser to end their two game losing streak while the draw snapped the Lilywhites' own run of three straight defeats.
It came at a price though, as Andy Boyle was injured in the warm-up and Greg Sloggett left Oriel Park on crutches after sustaining a serious first-half ankle injury.
Stephen O'Donnell was livid and feels it is no coincidence that the two Premier Division clubs - Dundalk and Derry who use artificial pitches have long injury lists.
"It's gone beyond a point of not being a great surface to watch on, it's actually injuring players," said the Dundalk boss (inset).
