Delap delivers win for Harps after a crazy finish in Waterford

A late shoot-out lifted the Donegal club off the bottom of the table.

FINN HARPS CREATED a grandstand finish at the RSC this afternoon as they traded four goals in the last eight minutes to beat Waterford 2-3.

The home side had led for most of the game thanks to Ali Coote’s early deflected shot.

But the second half was dominated by the struggling Donegal side and they were rewarded for their efforts in a frenetic final few minutes.

David Webster netted a thoroughly deserved equaliser for Harps with 82 minutes on the clock. Any notion that the visitors might settle after that was dashed as they immediately fell behind again with John Martin restoring Waterford’s lead.

And the drama was still to come thanks to two men sprung from Harps’ bench.

Alexander Kogler scored the equaliser with three minutes remaining and created the dramatic winner with a searching cross that was met by Adrian Delap’s diving header.

Finn Harp’s late heroics mean they are off the bottom of the SSE Airtricity League, though level with Cork City. Waterford now sit just four points above them

    Burnley are one of the few still UK owned…like West Ham, Newcastle, Spurs etc. Liverpool are operated from the US.

    @Paul Foot: only goalkeepers are allowed to handle the ball. If you score more goals than your opponent, you win the match.

    Milner starting ahead of Chamberlain? Jesus Christ. And Wijnaldum and Henderson are on the bench as well. Unlucky ox
