Italian Super Cup tournament in Saudi Arabia with a 2-0 victory over AC Milan and it was routine and largely uneventful in front of a sedate Saudi crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">That was until a flashpoint between <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0

on the clock the referee blew for a free-kick for a robust challenge from McTominay before the ball rolled to Tomori \u2013 who blasted it back in the direction of the Scotland star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">McTominay was immediately incensed and the referee was forced to race over when the
