The in-form Manchester United ace powerfully struck home a free-kick from a tight angle but the incredible goal was bizarrely chalked off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McTominay has been in excellent form for club and country, saving United from another Old Trafford defeat last weekend. And the midfielder nearly helped Scotland past Spain once again after his heroics against the former World and European champions back in March.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>The 26-year-old, not known for his set-piece ability, stood over a free-kick close to the byline in Seville. It appeared that he might attempt a cross for a team-mate to head home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Instead, McTominay audaciously went for goal with a blockbuster strike. The ball struck the inside of the near post and crashed into the net.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>McTominay and his colleagues jubilantly celebrated what would have been his eighth international goal. However, VAR controversially disallowed the remarkable strike. McTominay was spotted launching what appeared to be a bottle to the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd takeover bidder Sheikh Jassim learns Glazers deal is &#8216;closer than ever'[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5009439.jpg?r=1697147557058\"><\/p>\n<p>The only obvious conclusion was that the officials felt that a Scotland player was impeding Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon from an offside position. Simon was unable to get across goal to save the effort, having been expecting McTominay to deliver a cross into the penalty area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>A McTominay brace against Spain in March helped Scotland to a historic victory over the European giants in Euro 2024 qualifying. However, the United star was unable to prevent Spain from sailing to a 2-0 triumph on home soil this time around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Alvaro Morata and Oihan Sancet both scored late goals to down Steve Clarke&#8217;s side. It was Scotland&#8217;s first defeat of the qualifying group phase, with the home nation incredibly topping a group including Spain, Erling Haaland&#8217;s Norway alongside Georgia and Cyprus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

A victory over Georgia in November will see them comfortably qualify for Euro 2024 before they round off their group with a clash against Norway at Hampden Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Clarke will hope that McTominay continues his fine form at both club and international level. The United academy graduate rose from the bench to score a late brace against Brentford last Saturday, rescuing a victory after the Red Devils trailed for most of the match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The United academy graduate was linked with a summer exit, with West Ham reportedly interested in his services. However, he decided to stay and fight for his place under Erik ten Hag and is beginning to win his boss over after some positive performances in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1823182\/Scott-McTominay-Scotland-Spain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&rsquo;s plenty more to come &ndash; John McGinn excited for Scotland&rsquo;s future Scott McTominay was furious after his Scotland wonder strike against Spain was controversially ruled out by VAR.
