Justin Kluivert scored from the penalty spot as Bournemouth beat AC Milan 3-0 in the Europa League, leaving the English club with nine points from their first three matches in the league phase.
Kluivert converted in the eighth minute after a handball by a Milan defender. Bournemouth were awarded a second penalty after goalkeeper Mike Maignan pushed a player in the face. Maignan was sent off, and Marcus Tavernier scored from the spot. Amine Adli added Bournemouth’s third goal late on.
Bournemouth moved up to third in the table. Benfica took top spot after beating Omonia Nicosia 4-1. AZ were tenth on six points, while NEC were 20th on four; both Dutch clubs were in positions that would qualify for February’s play-off round at the time of the report.
