Stand up McManus who started to find his range; he kept keeping his team within touching distance, and was then helped out by Jack McCarron who came off the bench.
However, it was Dublin's bench who held the real trump card as Jack McCaffrey was unleashed, and he tormented the Ulster side's defence for the remainder of the game.
Dean Rock was then brought on and when they were given a routine-looking free kick, the Ballymun man was always going to do it to put them four points clear.
Then, in a struck of luck that he didn't expect, Rock found himself just yards away from an open goal and of course tapped it in to secure victory for his team.
In the end, as much as you had to respect Dublin's ability to rise to this challenge, every hat has to be tipped to the performance of Monaghan's 35-year-old McManus.
The flying forward was everywhere, he covered every blade of grass, kicked some unbelievable scores, and was dead-eyed behind the free-kicks.
We don't think there is an Irish equivalent of a knighthood, but this man certainly deserves it.
