There are nights that define a player. Special performances which stand out for supporters in the years or even decades to come.
Tuesday, undoubtedly, was one such evening. For Scott McTominay, March 28, 2023 now stands as a shining peak of achievement.

At 26, he’s got time. What he did here, though, was a feat for the ages.
