Murphy and McCarthy sent off in fiery clash between Dublin and Donegal

Referee Conor Lane reduced both sides to 14 men as Dublin secured a six-point win.

DUBLIN’S JAMES McCARTHY could find himself in hot water after he made contact with the eye area of Donegal’s Martin McElhinney tonight.

The Ballymun Kickhams wing-back was sent off for a second yellow card following a scuffle in the second half of their clash in Croke Park as Dublin made it six wins from six in the league.

Referee Conor Lane gave McCarthy and Donegal star Michael Murphy their marching orders with 20 minutes left on the clock, which may suggest he has already dealt with the incident.

Setanta’s Aaron Kernan and Senan Connell were quick to dismiss any allegations of eye-gouging aimed at McCarthy.
