His nine-point haul ensured he won a fourth successive Man-of-the-Match award, but Shane McGuigan would rather Derry had two points instead of one after being denied by Monaghan in Celtic Park on Saturday night.
The hosts were three down in the last 10 minutes, but looked like they had done enough to see off the challenge of the Farney when McGuigan converted a stunning long-range free moments after Ethan Doherty levelled the game.
However, with five minutes of stoppage-time to be played, Monaghan were able to engineer one final shot with the impressive Karl O’Connell keeping his cool to level the game at 0-14 each just seconds before the full-time whistle.
