Monaghan 1-15 - 1-15 DublinAny Dublin supporters wondering if their five-in-a-row All-Ireland winning heroes would dig deep for new manager Dessie Farrell got their answer as the hosts rescued a remarkable Allianz football league draw at Croke Park. Monaghan led by 1-14 to 0-8 at the hour mark but Dublin subs Kevin McManamon, Sean Bugler and Colm Basquel had a big impact, striking 1-4 between them. McManamon's 70th minute goal was the crucial score, igniting the comeback and giving Dublin the belief that they could rescue a result. Monaghan couldn't hold on for back to back wins though and after beating Tyrone in Round 2 were ultimately held to a draw that few saw coming as Dublin showed their battling instincts again. Dublin: E Comerford; M Fitzsimons, D Byrne, L Flatman; J McCarthy, J Small, E Murchan; B Fenton, B Howard; N Scully, C Kilkenny, D O'Brien; D Mullin, P Andrews, D Rock.
