Scotland earned an incredible 2-0 win over Spain in Euro 2024 qualifying on Tuesday night at Hampden and the goal-scoring hero Scott McTominay says he has ‘never seen anything like’ it.
The Manchester United scored both goals in the incredible victory, with Spain not really posing a huge threat to the home side.
The visitors predictably dominated possession, but Scotland deserved their win after a fantastic team display, with McTominay the star, after scoring another two goals in a 3-0 win over Cyprus at the weekend.
‘We did really, really well,’ McTominay said on Viaplay. ‘We knew they’d have lots of the ball, and the manager said be clinical when we had the opportunities, and I thought we had enough opportunities tonight to really hurt them and score some goals.
‘As a kid, I was an attacking midfielder – I like to get in the box. I’ve got to keep doing that, I know I can add more goals and assists to my game.
‘Everyone was at it, diving around, making the game slow. It’s difficult, but sometimes that’s the way it’s got to be. When you’re winning you’ve got to do stuff like that. Look at this place – I’ve never seen anything like it, incredible.
‘The manager said this is our chance to create legacies as Scotland players and these are the nights in 20, 30 years that people remember. We can’t thank the fans enough.’
With two wins from their opening two games Scotland are now clear at the top of Group A of European Championship qualification, three points ahead of Spain.
Liverpool’s Andy Robertson added: ‘It’s six points to start but unfortunately six points doesn’t qualify you for the Euros. I puts us in a good place, we’ve got two massive games in June and if we come out with the points we need then that will put us in an even better position.
‘We’ve put ourselves in a great position but we have to keep going, we have to keep the same determination and the same desire tonight. If we do that it gives us a hell of a chance in any game.’
