2014
31 August: Donegal 3-14 Dublin 0-17
It was regarded as an ambush by Jim McGuinness, who had a plan to break down Dublin. It didn't look good when they were five down on two occasions in the first half but it was the goals, with Ryan McHugh getting two, that undone the Dubs in a magnificent win.
