Gbemi Arubi's first goal at Oriel Park this year proved decisive as Dundalk piled the pressure on Derry City ahead of the mid-season break. Despite six goals on the road so far in 2026 the striker, who turned 22 on Tuesday, hadn’t found the net at the Carrick Road venue since scoring in the Louth side’s 3-0 win over Finn Harps last October when Ciarán Kilduff’s side clinched the First Division title.
