Bournemouth beat AC Milan 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night, a result that keeps the Premier League side perfect after three games and leaves Milan picking over a first-half red card for their goalkeeper. The matches finished in the early hours of Friday, Pakistan time: the late games kicked off at 8pm UK time, which is midnight in Pakistan, and the early games at 9:45pm PKT.

Bournemouth 3-0 AC Milan: how it happened

Justin Kluivert put Bournemouth ahead from the penalty spot in the 8th minute, Sky Sports reported. The game turned in the 28th minute, when Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was shown a straight red card for pushing his gloves into Tyler Adams's face and shoving him to the ground, which also gave away a second penalty. Marcus Tavernier sent substitute goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani the wrong way in the 32nd minute, and Amine Adli finished it with a curling free-kick in the 84th.

Bournemouth have three wins from three and sit third in the league phase table. For Milan it was a heavy night in England: down to ten men for more than an hour and two goals behind by the 32nd minute.

The other talking points

Juventus led early through a quick move set up by Nick Woltemade, then went behind to Musa Al-Taamari and a Boulaye Dia penalty before Woltemade's own penalty saved a point. Jhon Lucumi thought he had won it late, but VAR found him offside.

Crystal Palace twice traded goals with Besiktas and could not make the extra man count after Umit Akdag's red card 13 minutes from time. Sunderland scored inside two minutes in Poznan but had to settle for a draw.

Union Saint-Gilloise played their home game behind closed doors in Germany after authorities in Leuven refused to host it on public safety grounds.
