Powell was the stand out player in the game, scoring 1–3 of Tipperary's 1–6 in their victory over Dublin. His late goal was critical.{{cite news|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-40087385.html|title=GAA talking points: Tipperary and Cavan symmetry; Decisions to make in Cork|work=Irish Examiner|date=22 November 2020|accessdate=22 November 2020}}
