Maignan's red card at 27 minutes sank Milan at Bournemouth

Bournemouth beat AC Milan 3-0 at the Vitality Stadium after two penalties inside the first half hour, with Milan a player short from the 27th minute.

Mike Maignan was sent off for AC Milan in the 27th minute, but the match had already tilted well before that. Bournemouth were awarded a penalty in the sixth minute, Justin Kluivert scored from the spot two minutes later, and Marcus Tavernier scored from another penalty at 32. By the half hour Bournemouth were two goals up and Milan were down to ten players.

Bournemouth finished with 64% of the ball, and the shots tell the same story. They took 20, well above the league average of 14.1 per team, and seven of those were on target, meaning they would have gone in had the goalkeeper not stopped them. Milan had three shots and none of them were on target, so their keeper made four saves in a match where he was asked far less than a usual goalkeeper would be.

Expected goals is a score that rates each chance by where it was taken and how good a finishing opportunity it was, and it is a fairer guide than shots alone. Bournemouth's total was 3.18, roughly double the league average of 1.52 per team. Milan's was 0.17, so the chances they created were few and poor, even before the red card reshaped the match.

Amine Adli's goal in the 84th minute was the final touch on a match that had been settled long before. R. Christie was the most dangerous Bournemouth attacker on the numbers, with four shots and two chances created for team-mates, and he played the full 90 minutes. His rating of 7.5 reflects a steady attacking display rather than a single moment.

For Milan, the most noticeable figures came from their defensive work. K. De Winter won eight duels and played the whole match, but he also received a yellow card in the 81st minute, one of three Milan players booked. Milan's passing was also less accurate, with 226 successful passes out of 286 attempts, which is a sign of a side that had lost its shape and its control of the ball.

Bournemouth are ninth in the table with six points from two matches, both won at home or away. AC Milan are 19th on three points after one win and one defeat. The result leaves Bournemouth with two wins from two and a clean sheet.
