Goal of the championship? Michael Murphy's hand of god carves Galway apart

HE MAY NOT have been fully fit but Michael Murphy demonstrated why he’s widely regarded as one of the best footballers in the country with a stunning piece of skill during Donegal’s win over Galway.

With the game in the balance at Croke Park, Murphy soared to palm a dropping ball into the path of Ryan McHugh.

McHugh did the rest, slotting emphatically past Brian O’Donoghue, and Donegal were on their way to an All-Ireland quarter-final tie against Mayo next Saturday.

As our man Niall Kelly reported from GAA HQ, so soft was the touch, an endorsement deal with Fairy Liquid may well be on the way.

    If he’s half as good as his father he’ll be the best player in the SPL by a long way
