With Jack McGrath and Farrell clearing out, Murray makes the feint to his right. Sexton [circled below] steps ever so slightly into Savea's path:
Farrell, meanwhile, grabs a hold of Perenara's ankle and forces him to take a step away to break free, freeing up space for the upcoming dash of his scrum-half.
Perenara has shaken Farrell off his ankle but, in doing so, is too far to his left. By the time he and Savea reach Murray he has only two metres to go to the tryline.
His momentum carries him over and the Lions are 19-21 behind. Farrell nails the conversion from a narrow angle and all the momentum is with the tourists.
Here's how the whole play unfolded:
