Only on the pitch ten minutes, O'Brien was hauled down just outside the box in the 84th minute by Saints defender Darragh Maguire which saw referee Paul McKeon produce a straight red card.

From the resulting free 22 yards out, O'Brien struck the crossbar. The rebound came out to Colm James who drove the ball back in and O'Brien arrived to steer a low volley into the bottom corner.

Wanderers had been reduced to ten men in the 54th minute when Colm Tresson was dismissed for a second bookable offence.
