Colm Basquel runs riot as Dubs demolish Tyrone

Goal-hungry Dublin cruised through to the Allianz Football Football League Division 1 decider with a 21-point demolition of Tyrone at Croke Park.

Dublin's fifth consecutive win of the campaign came at a canter, with Colm Basquel helping himself to 2-03 in a one-sided rout.

Lorcan O'Dell ran All-Star Basquel close for the Man of the Match award and sniped 1-02 on a day when nine different players got on the scoresheet for Dublin.

Niall Scully and Cian Murphy found the net too for Dublin who will return to Croke Park next weekend to play Derry in the final.

Tyrone rested several key players and were powerless to prevent Dublin posting a double-digits lead by half-time.

The Ulster outfit will return to duty in the provincial championship on April 21 though Dublin may collect another piece of significant silverware before they begin their Leinster campaign on 14 April.

Dublin made two changes to their published lineup and three in total from the Round 6 win over Galway.

Eoin Murchan came into a defence missing John Small, while O'Dell and Basquel were recalled in attack.

It was only Basquel's second start of the campaign and he looked like a player keen to make a point ahead of the Championship.

The Ballyboden man had 1-03 racked up by half-time with his goal arriving in the 13th minute following excellent work by Brian Fenton and Con O'Callaghan.

O'Callaghan played the final pass for Dublin's second goal too in first-half stoppage time. That one was finished off by Scully and with a 2-11 to 0-06 interval lead, the game was already as good as up for visiting Tyrone.

Ruairi Canavan and Cathal McShane operated at the point of Tyrone's attack but Canavan couldn't escape Eoin Murchan to get on the scoreboard until the 50th minute.
