Bournemouth enjoy night to remember as 10-man Milan fail to weather storm
Bournemouth marked a landmark European night with a comfortable win over Milan, who were reduced to 10 men in the first half. The result underlined the gap between the Premier League side and a Milan team that struggled to match their intensity, despite Milan’s celebrated history.
Justin Kluivert scored from the penalty spot inside eight minutes after a VAR review found Koni De Winter had handled Evanilson’s header. Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was sent off before the half-hour for shoving Tyler Adams, and Marcus Tavernier converted the resulting penalty against substitute keeper Lorenzo Torriani. Amine Adli added a late free-kick; Bournemouth had controlled the match throughout.
In short
- Bournemouth beat Milan in a landmark European home match.
- Maignan’s first-half red card left Milan with 10 players.
- Kluivert, Tavernier and Adli scored for Bournemouth.
