The Manchester United midfielder, who scored his eighth goal of the qualification campaign in the 2-2 tie, said their opponents were continuously attempting to influence the referee.

McTominay was enraged by the stop-start game, which saw six yellow cards and 32 fouls, as well as a scuffle in either half.

“Every game at this level is big, and obviously they have got some really, really good footballers but tonight I thought the way they were acting was a disgrace in terms of provoking the referee as well,” he told Viaplay.

“Anyway, that’s football and that’s sometimes the way it goes. We have to keep our heads but it’s difficult.

“There’s some disappointed people in the dressing room but I feel like it’s something we can build on after coming back twice.

“They should do something about people pretending that they’re injured when they’re not.

“It’s a difficult one to call but rolling around, crying like babies all afternoon is not football.

“For us we just wanted to get on with the game and play and do our best. Whereas the other side was provoking the referee a lot.”
