He scored a couple of points out there, but he caused endless problems for a Dublin rearguard who had no answer for him any time he received any sort of a ball into him.
This is the kind of thing he does.

It was a shame, however, in the second half to see him getting drawn further and further out the field because with that, Galway's main threat was becoming less and less potent and this was the period that Dublin turned the screw and took over.

That might just have been the losing of the game for them, but Jesus the men in maroon do deserve credit for their showing today. They came as close to Dublin as anyone else in this campaign and showed with that they'll be a force to be reckoned with when the championship rolls around.
They put it up to Dublin in Sunday's Division One League final. That's because the Tribesmen took the game to Dublin in the early stages.
In the wide open spaces of Croke Park, Kevin Walsh's men flourished. Johnny Heaney was again tigerish and aggressive, Shane Walsh showed why he's one of the few men in the GAA that actually can get away with wearing orange boots. He's a joy to watch in full flight.
All the talk coming into this one was that a gritty Galway side wouldn't be able to keep Dublin out all day long. That Galway's defensive game plan would be exposed.
That wasn't the case, but all told, Dublin were just too good. Johnny Cooper gets plenty of criticism but Jesus his will to win has to be admired.
When they really needed it, they got the scores. Ciaran Kilkenny stood up, so did Dean Rock, Mannion, Eric Lowndes and Philly McMahon like he always does.
There is no stopping the Dubs, they went onto win by four, 0-18 to 0-14.
