Tyrone had no answer to the 'ferocity' of Dublin's tackling in Croke Park today, according to Mickey Harte.

The Red Hand County's boss shone the spotlight on the opposition's work-rate and intensity in his post-match interview.

"It didn't happen because of the ferocity of their tackling," he told Newstalk's 'Off the Ball'.

"We turned them over a number of times when we were trying to break through for scores and we broke out, but again, at the vital moment, they had enough people back and put enough pressure on to turn the ball over. 

"And, when you turn the ball over when you're counter-attacking like that, you're very vulnerable and that's exactly what happened for the goal.

"We were absolutely vulnerable because we were going forward expecting to be finishing the other side and was turned over and young O'Callaghan was free and finished with aplomb."
