Sligo Rovers have won their 3rd FAI Cup in four years in incredible fashion.

Paul O'Conor had put Drogheda United 1-0 up at half time. Danny North levelled things up with just 11 minutes left.

North then thought he had won the game as he converted from a free kick after 85 minutes. Drogheda United captain Derek Prendergast was then sent off for protesting that the ref hadn't blown his whistle before the free was taken.

But amazingly, the Drogs made in 2-2 in the 92nd minute through Ryan Brennan.

And as everyone prepared for extra time, Anthony Elding popped up to smash the ball home for Sligo.

That defeat now means that Drogheda have lost three different cup finals this year....
