Wexford Youths continued their impressive start to life in League of Ireland football by claiming a 2-1 win on their trip to play Finn Harps on Friday night.

John O'Loughlin wasted a couple of good home chances before Paul Malone headed Youths in front from Conor Sinnott's corner on the hour.

Harps hopes were further hit ten minutes later when Gavin Cullen brought down Johnny Flynn-O'Connor in the box. The Harps keeper was sent off and Sinnott slotted home the resulting penalty.

O'Loughlin grabbed a late consolation for Harps in the final minute but the County Donegal side are now struggling with just five points from six games.

Finn Harps : Cullen, Asokuh (Breen 65), Minnock, Boyle, Simms, Shields, Curran, O'Loughloin, Parkhouse, Gethins, Holmes (Gallagher 69).
Wexford Youths : Dunphy, Murphy, Russell, Wadding, Sinnott, Kelly, Brossan (White 80), Dunning (Margolin 90), Malone, O'Loughlin, Flynn-O'Connor (Bradley 90).
