Maignan Sees Red as Milan Are Thrashed 3-0 by Bournemouth

Milan sunk on a miserable European night

AC Milan were thrashed 3-0 away at Bournemouth, playing more than an hour with ten men after goalkeeper Mike Maignan was sent off during a chastening night for the Rossoneri. The heavy loss was described across Italy's front pages as Milan's "madness", with the club's continental campaign left in danger.

How the collapse unfolded

Justin Kluivert opened the scoring for the hosts before the game turned decisively against Milan. Maignan brought down Adams inside the area and was shown a red card in the 28th minute, leaving the visitors a man light and handing Bournemouth a penalty.

Marcus Tavernier stepped up to beat substitute goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani from the spot, and Yacine Adli then added a third goal as Bournemouth ran out comfortable winners against a Milan side at the mercy of their English opponents.

Amorim turns on his goalkeeper

The result — Milan's second European defeat of the season — left the club sitting in 24th place, and reports state that coach Ruben Amorim laid the blame squarely at the door of his goalkeeper for the costly dismissal.

Italian papers framed the evening as a disaster for the Diavolo, with the collapse with ten men dominating the back pages and the team's cup ambitions fading.
