Bournemouth earned the biggest win of its first European campaign by beating
10-man AC Milan 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday after goalkeeper Mike
Maignan was sent off for shoving an opponent in the face during a corner.
Bournemouth had already taken the lead from a penalty when Maignan was shown a
straight red card and conceded another spot kick by putting his gloves in the
face of United States midfielder Tyler Adams and pushing him to the ground.
Marcus Tavernier converted the second penalty against substitute goalkeeper
Lorenzo Torriani to double the lead, and there was no way back for Milan after
that. Substitute Amine Adli made it 3-0 late with a perfectly executed curling
free kick.
Four other teams also have three wins from three, including Bayer Leverkusen
after Jonas Hofmann scored twice in a three-minute span to secure a 2-0 victory
at OFI Crete.
But Juventus was held to a 2-2 draw by Rennes after having a late winner ruled
out for offside.
Hofmann leads Leverkusen Hofmann netted his double late in the first half as Leverkusen continued its good start under new coach Carles Martnez, who has now overseen seven wins from eight games across all competitions since starting with a shock loss to Elversberg. Ferencvaros also stayed perfect after a 4-1 victory over Portuguese second-division side Torreense. In a clash of two unbeaten teams, Benfica won 4-1 at Omonia while Olympiacos needed a late own goal to secure its third straight win, 1-0 win over Sparta Prague. Woltemade rescues point for Juventus Nick Woltemande converted from the spot in the 67th minute to salvage a 2-2 home draw for Juventus against Rennes, but the hosts had a potential winner by Jhon Lucumi ruled out by VAR. It was Woltemade's third goal in three games in the competition after joining on loan from Newcastle. The Bianconeri pressured early and took the lead on a quick attack after Zeki elik collected a through pass from Woltemade. But Musa Al-Taamari equalized and Boulaye Dia calmy gave the visitors the lead from the spot, sending Juve goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario the wrong way. Like Juve, Sunderland hoped to make it three wins from three on a trip to Lech Pozna?. Forward Timur Tutierov put the Premier League side ahead with a header with his first Europa League goal in the second minute but substitute Leo Bengtsson made it 1-1 in the second half to earn a first point for the Polish club. In other results, Crystal Palace drew 2-2 with 10-man Besiktas, Celtic lost 2-1 at home to Celta Vigo, Hoffenheim got its first points with a 3-0 win over Ligue 1 leader Lyon and Real Sociedad had the biggest win of the night, 6-0 at Lillestrom. Earlier, Marseille recorded a third straight loss, 1-0 to Sturm Graz, while Union Saint-Gilloise routed Israeli champion Hapoel Beer-Sheva 4-0. That game was played without fans in Dsseldorf, Germany, after authorities in Leuven, Belgium, refused to host it due to public safety. In Istanbul, Palace's Yeremy Pini canceled out Besiktas' opening goal by Wilfred Ndidi and Jean Philippe Mateta pushed the English team ahead before Junior Olaitan leveled again. The English side failed to make use of a one-man advantage after mit Akda? was sent off 13 minutes from time. Brighton held Czech provincial side Jablonec kept high-scoring Brighton at bay in a 0-0 draw in the Conference League, while former Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah marked his 150th game in European competitions by scoring again for Tranbzonspor in a 2-0 win over Hearts.
