Dublin defender Eoin Murchan says it would have been difficult for referee Conor Lane to know if he took too many steps in scoring his famous goal in last September’s All-Ireland final replay win over Kerry.

Coming less than 10 seconds after the second-half restart, it set Jim Gavin’s side on their way to a historic five-in-a-row. The Na Fianna player reckons too much significance has been placed on the goal.
