Bournemouth hammer 10-man Milan, Juventus denied at the death

Bournemouth delivered an electrifying 3-0 home triumph over 10-man AC Milan on Thursday, marking their third consecutive win in the Europa League. Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier converted penalties in the first half to dominate the match. Milan's goalkeeper, Mike Maignan, was sent off early for a foul on Tyler Adams, and the Italian side struggled to recover.

In a remarkable finish, Amine Adli scored a stunning 84th-minute free-kick to seal the victory for the Premier League side. Bournemouth, the first English club since Sunderland in 1973/74 to win their first three European fixtures, will face Sparta Prague and Celta Vigo in November. The win highlights their confidence, saying, "We trust ourselves.

It doesn't matter who we play against. We know what we're capable of, and I think we showed that today."
