Diarmuid Connolly's tug-of-war proves costly for Dublin

Given the theme of second opportunities that emerged on a gripping afternoon, one can only imagine what Diarmuid Connolly would do if he had his time again.

Specifically, would Dublin’s gifted forward have been so keen to overrule Ciaran Kilkenny and take the last gasp sideline kick that he blasted wide, allowing Mayo to regain possession and score the equalising point? Surely not, particularly with just seconds left.

Connolly and Kilkenny had a lengthy exchange before Connolly, who scored the insurance point against Kerry, took on the responsibility and winced as his sideline kick flew wide.
