VIDEO: All-Ireland win euphoric for O'Sullivan

Dublin's centre-back Cian O'Sullivan has described his county's All-Ireland SFC final victory over Kerry as "euphoric".

The Leinster team overcame their Munster rivals with a superb performance that resulted in a far more comprehensive victory than the 0-12 to 0-09 scoreline suggested.

Speaking to RTÉ Sport moments after the Dubs won their third title in five years, O'Sullivan said: "Words can't describe this feeling right now. It's euphoria. To win an All-Ireland with these lads is just an absolutely amazing feeling.

"The perception out there would have been that Kerry and ourselves would be the top two teams in the country. So to win in the fashion we did and beat the top teams, Mayo and Kerry, it really makes it extra special."

O'Sullivan injured his hamstring in the semi-final against Mayo and admitted that he had worked hard to ensure he featured for the Dubs today: "Thankfully I came through the injury over the last two weeks. I have to say a special thanks to our backroom team. It was a tough two weeks, but definitely worth it to play here today.

"I'm just glad I could make a positive contribution to the team, that's what makes it so special.

"We're 30 lads, 50 lads with the backroom team included and we're going to have some fantastic celebrations for the next couple of weeks and months."
