It looked, for all money, that Sullivan had earned his side a penalty but Neilan awarded a free only.
The decision was roundly derided as Meath were denied a chance to go three points clear with seven minutes to go.

Ben Brennan put Meath 0-13 to 0-12 ahead after 63 minutes, from the resulting free, but then struck a post with a simple free that could have put his team two clear with five to go.
On the game raged but Neilan and his assistants were upsetting some viewers, and former inter-county stars.

It looked bleak for Tyrone when Tiernan McCann was then red-carded but poor discipline saw Connor McAliskey draw the sides level for the sixth time.
Meath did not let up, nor lose believe, and when McAliskey pulled a free of his own wide, they sprung up-field.
Andy McEntee's side were then awarded a soft free, four minutes into injury time, and Brennan made no mistake. Brennan was sent off moments later and it was left to Cathal McShane to step up and bring the contest into injury-time.

That looked to have taken the will, and legs, from Meath and it certainly looked the case in extra time.
Harry Loughrane, on debut for Tyrone, effectively got the winner when he fisted home after a nice run from Ronan O'Neill. Meath ended the game with 13 men when Adam Flanagan was sent off for a late foul.
Tyrone march on but Meath's summer is done.Explore more on these topics:
