Eventually, in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Derry slipped in Umolu who this time made no mistake to finish across the face of goal into the bottom corner to seal all three points.
Powell’s side now sit in third place in Group D of the Premier League International Cup with one game remaining against RB Leipzig in January. They are two points off of Chelsea who also have one game remaining, while Brighton top the group.
