Bournemouth beat AC Milan 3-0 after Maignan’s red card

Mike Maignan was sent off in the 27th minute and Bournemouth turned the night into a 3-0 Europa League win over AC Milan at home on 22 October 2026. Justin Kluivert scored from the penalty spot in the 8th minute, Marcus Tavernier added a second from the spot in the 32nd minute, and Amine Adli finished it off late.

Maignan's dismissal

The dismissal came after a push to the face of Tyler Adams, and the broadcaster on TNT Sports called it a straight red. Football-italia.net’s match report said Milan paid the price for two early errors from Koni De Winter and Maignan, with the goalkeeper’s sending-off and Bournemouth’s two penalties leaving the visitors 2-0 down by half-time.

Football-italia.net and the match data put the red card in the 27th minute, while other reports have it at 28. Either way, the basic sequence did not change. Milan were already behind, Maignan was off, and Bournemouth had complete control of the game before the break.

Bournemouth's perfect start

Bournemouth’s start to the Europa League remains perfect, with two wins from two, five goals scored and only one conceded. The 3-0 against Milan was built on set-piece efficiency and on Milan’s mistakes, but the clean finish from Adli also matters because it showed the third goal was not just padding. It was a tidy end to a night that had already been decided by half-time.

Ruben Amorim was not part of this one, but Bournemouth’s start now gives them real momentum heading into the rest of the group phase. The table will move on to the next round of fixtures, while Milan are left with a defeat shaped by the red card in the 27th minute and the two penalties that followed.
