An 86th-minute goal from substitute Michael Fox provided decisive at the Iveagh Grounds, as Bangor Celtic completed a remarkable comeback against Everton AFC.

Everton skipper Jason Sexton had broken the deadlock on 19 minutes, and midfielder Lawrence Fitzpatrick made it 2-0 five minutes later.

The Cork men still led with nine minutes left but a powerful finish by Caleb Murray offered the Crumlin outfit a lifeline.

Bangor equalised through Laurence Dunne on 85 minutes, and after Fox's goal from the next attack, a deflated Everton lost Sexton to a red card in stoppage time.
