Watch: Wondergoal from half-way line as champions heap more misery on Derry

Graham Burke scored from the half-way line

Graham Burke scored from the half-way line as Shamrock Rovers heaped more misery on Derry City with a 2-0 win at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.

Rory Gaffney put the Hoops ahead on 34 minutes and Burke then struck with a memorable goal to make it 2-0 five minutes later and send Rovers on the way to victory. 

This result moves Rovers up to joint third in the table where they are now on eight points, and head of Sligo Rovers on goal difference. Derry are rooted to the bottom with no points from four games and are now ten points adrift of joint leaders St. Patrick's Athletic and Finn Harps.
