Watch: Stephen Cluxton goes on crazy six solo run into the Kerry half

What do you do when everyone is tightly marked and you can't pick out a pass to one of your teammates?
Naturally, you go on a six solo run into the opposition's half until a teammate loses his marker. It might not be the recommended tactic of any coach that likes keeping hair on their head, but when you're the goalkeeper of a team that is favoured to win its fourth consecutive All-Ireland maybe you have the confidence to try a René Higuita-esque run into the opposition's half. https://twitter.com/eirSport/status/972878824370094080 That's what Dublin goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton did in the first-half of his side's 12-point win over Kerry on Sunday. With seemingly nothing on, or seemingly nothing that he fancied, Cluxton embarked on a six solo run into the Kerry half before eventually handpassing the ball away as Kerry began to swarm him. If Dublin can avoid losing to both Galway and Monaghan in their final two Division 1 matches, they will face the former in the league final on April 1st in Croke Park where they will look to reclaim their title after losing to Kerry in last year's final.Explore more on these topics:
