Donegal suffer heavy defeat at the hands of Mayo

Reigning all Ireland champions Donegal suffered a heavy defeat this afternoon after a  4-17 to 1-10 defeat at the hands of Mayo in Croke Park.
Despite conceding very few goals throughout this campaign, Donegal were unable to hold Mayo out for long with two early goals from Cillian O’Connor and Donal Vaughan helping the Connacht champions on their way.
A half-time scoreline of 2-10 to 0-04 confirmed their dominence all over the park.
The second half didn’t prove any better for Donegal as Mayo quickly added two more goals to further extend their lead.
Donegals fortunes were further compounded when Eamonn McGee was shown red midway through the second half.
Despite a late Colm McFadden consolation goal, a final scorline of 4-17 to 1-10 left Donegal with their heaviest defeat under manager Jim McGuiness.
