Bournemouth Thrash AC Milan 3-0 After Maignan Red Card

Bournemouth produced an impressive performance to defeat AC Milan 3-0 at the Vitality Stadium in the third round of the Europa League league phase. The Italian giants endured a disastrous evening, with goalkeeper Mike Maignan sent off in the first half after an incident that led to a second penalty for the hosts.

Bournemouth made an aggressive start and were rewarded in the eighth minute. After a corner, Koni De Winter handled the ball inside the penalty area, allowing Justin Kluivert to convert from the spot and put the home side ahead.

Milan’s situation deteriorated further in the 28th minute. During another corner, Maignan pushed Tyler Adams in the face and received a straight red card. The referee also awarded Bournemouth a second penalty, as the incident occurred before the ball was back in play. Substitute goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani replaced Maignan, but Marcus Tavernier sent him the wrong way from the spot in the 32nd minute to make it 2-0.

Milan struggled to respond after being reduced to ten men, and Bournemouth controlled the closing stages. Amine Adli completed the scoring in the 84th minute with a superb free kick, sealing a convincing victory for the English side. The result gave Bournemouth a memorable European night, while Milan were left facing serious questions after a costly disciplinary collapse.
