Vinny Corey hails Monaghan's 'resilence and fire' after dramatic victory over Tyrone

Monaghan manager Vinny Corey was delighted by the manner in which his side upped their game in the second half to earn a narrow win over Tyrone in the Ulster SFC quarter-final.

Ryan O'Toole drilled home a sensational winning goal deep into stoppage time to give the Farney victory in a gripping clash at O'Neills Healy Park. Earlier Stephen O'Hanlon found the net as Corey's side responded well on the resumption after a dominant Tyrone built up a five-point half-time lead.

"A few wee things went against us but we weren't bringing the intensity that we needed to bring," the manager told RTÉ Radio's Sunday Sport.

"I was happy with how the boys responded in the second half. It wasn't that we were doing overly bad in the first half; we were caught out a few times and conceded a goal on a kickout.

"In fairness the boys regrouped at half time and I thought they were outstanding in the second half.

"We were five points down but we knew there was a lot more left in us. We had a slight breeze with us in the second half and if we got it back to a couple of points we knew it was game on. It was nip and tuck and some of the younger boys came up trumps.
