Bournemouth defeated AC Milan 3-0 at home on Thursday to secure three consecutive wins in their inaugural Europa League campaign. Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier scored penalties in the first half after AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was sent off early for fouling Tyler Adams. Amine Adli added a 84th-minute free-kick to complete the rout, making Bournemouth the first English club since Sunderland in 1973/74 to win their opening three European matches.
Juventus suffered a setback in Turin against Rennes when VAR disallowed Jhon Lucumi's potential winner in the 88th minute for marginal offside. The hosts equalized through Nick Woltemade's penalty to make it 2-2 after Rennes took a 2-1 lead, but the late goal was ruled out. Bayer Leverkusen maintained their perfect record with a 2-0 away victory over OFI Crete, while Ferencvaros and Union Saint-Gilloise also won to stay in contention.
Celtic suffered a third consecutive defeat, losing 2-1 to Celta Vigo, while Sunderland drew 1-1 with Lech Poznan in Poland. Crystal Palace recovered from Brighton's 5-0 weekend hammering with a 2-2 draw against Besiktas in Istanbul.
