David Clifford goal against Mayo hailed 'ridiculous' in All-Ireland quarter-final

A David Clifford goal was the difference between Kerry and Mayo at half-time in their All-Ireland quarter-final clash on Sunday evening.

Kicking off around an hour later than it was scheduled to, due to Galway v Armagh going to penalties, Kerry led Mayo by 1-07 to 0-09 at the break.

Clifford returned to the Kingdom's starting XV against the Westerners after missing their Munster final win over Limerick with a calf injury.

Mayo kept the 23-year-old quiet for much of the opening half, but they couldn't stop him from burying the ball in the back of the net after a brilliant run.

And fans were quick to praise Clifford, who went down injured during the first half, for scoring a 'ridiculous' goal.

One said: "Ah stop. David Clifford, what a goal. Injury, what injury??"

Another tweeted: "Unreal goal from David Clifford."

Someone else commented: "David clifford is just different class."

One other tweet read: "David Clifford. Half a leg, twice the talent. Different class."
