George Oakley scores twice as 10-man Inverness win
Posted Sunday, December 31, 2017 by PA
George Oakley's double handed 10-man Inverness a 3-2 win in the Scottish Championship and left basement boys Brechin still seeking a first league win of the season.
Caley Thistle were ahead after just four minutes as Liam Polworth's corner was turned into his own net by Brechin goalkeeper Graeme Smith, although John Baird was trying to claim it.
The lead would last 14 minutes, with Jordan Sinclair scoring from the penalty spot after Carl Tremarco handled Connor McLennan's shot, and the midfielder had his second six minutes before the break when he brilliantly volleyed home a McLennan cross.
The visitors restored parity 20 minutes into the second half when Baird guided Brad McKay's cross into the path of Oakley but two minutes later Tremarco - who had been cautioned for his earlier handball - was sent off after a foul in the centre circle.
That did not stop Inverness from grabbing the winner, though, with Oakley scoring again from close range after Coll Donaldson and Iain Vigurs combined to set him up.
