It was all Dublin in their All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Kerry at Croke Park this afternoon.
The Sky Blues came racing out of the blocks in the second half and took the lead and the momentum.
However, it all changed when Seán O'Brien slapped in a long ball into the Dublin goal, despite the best efforts of keeper Evan Comerford.
The net minder did manage to get a hand to it and then regather the ball, and it looked initially like he may have prevented it from going over the line.
But replays showed that it was clearly over despite the protestations from Comerford and his animated attempts to claim that he had prevented the ball from crossing the line.
Having said that, it was clear that O'Brien was in the six-yard box before the ball was played in, meaning that the goal should not have stood and instead should have been a free out to the Dubs.
Kerry: Shane Murphy; Paul Murphy, Jason Foley, Dylan Casey; Graham O'Sullivan, Mike Breen, Gavin White; Mark O'Shea, Sean O'Brien; Joe O'Connor, Paudie Clifford, Diarmuid O'Connor; David Clifford, Paul Geaney, Dylan Geaney.
Dublin: Evan Comerford; Seán MacMahon, Eoin Kennedy, David Byrne; Lee Gannon, Theo Clancy, Charlie McMorrow; Peadar Ó Cofaigh Byrne, Brian Howard; Niall Scully, Ciarán Kilkenny, Colm Basquel; Paddy Small, Con O'Callaghan, Cormac Costello.
