Colin Sheridan: This was the evening that Tyrone became the Keyser Söze of Championship 2021

Mayo have only themselves to blame. Not because they painted bales of hay green and red or flew flags from cranes and bridges, but because their gameplan, which centres around the creation of chaos, had no answer to Tyrone's battle rhythm which hinges on control. Mayo were out-thought and out-fought.
