Bournemouth seal historic win over Amorim's 10-man Milan

Match report as Amine Adli caps memorable win for Bournemouth after Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier penalties; Cherries down seven-time champions of Europe; Ruben Amorim's AC Milan reduced to 10 when captain and goalkeeper Mike Maignan shoved Tyler Adams in the face

Amine Adli scored a fine free-kick to cap Bournemouth's historic 3-0 win over 10-man AC Milan, which continues their brilliant start to their first-ever European campaign.

Ruben Amorim's side are far from the standard of the great Milan teams of the past but this is nonetheless a treasured scalp for Bournemouth who, for the majority of their history, could not have imagined they'd play this fixture. The seven-time European champions, humbled by the Cherries.

It was a wet and wild night on the south coast, with the weather fitting for the chaotic first half, which included Milan captain Mike Maignan being sent off for brutally pushing both hands into Tyler Adams' face at a corner.

That recklessness from the goalkeeper brought Bournemouth their second penalty, which was expertly dispatched by Marcus Tavernier after Justin Kluivert had slotted in the first spot-kick following a Koni De Winter handball.

Another dead-ball moment brought Bournemouth's third. It was a wonderful whip from sub Adli - but Amorim would not have been happy with the Milan wall which broke apart to sum up their sloppiness.

'How did we end up here' was the sign on the Bournemouth banner before kick-off. Their supporters would have been in even further disbelief with their side two-up against 10 men before half-time. By full-time they were gleefully taunting Amorim, who has now failed to beat Bournemouth in five attempts. It was a miserable return to England for the former Manchester United boss.

But it's lift-off at Bournemouth now, after they recorded their first Premier League win of the season over 10-man Sunderland at the weekend and go third in the Europa League table with a perfect record of three from three.

"A big night for us. I'm happy for the club, our fans especially and really proud of my lads. The way they did it was brilliant from the first minute until the last minute, we played a really good game.

"Even with 11 against 11 we started well, we put pressure on them, we got one penalty. Then the red card makes something of the game. Sometimes you get in trouble in these situations but, like on Sunday, we did it really well. We didn't give anything to them.

"It suits us to stay humble. We know we are good. We know if we have the whole squad we can compete with everyone everywhere but the season is long."

"It's hard to talk about our performance. There was no game after 20 minutes. We need to avoid our mistakes. We need to have 11 players on the pitch all the time.

"We tried to defend in the way they are comfortable and try to push the game forward like we did until the last minutes and then the free-kick killed the game.

5: PENALTY! After a VAR check, the officials spot a handball from De Winter, who had his arm up and connected with the ball when Evanilson headed wide.
