Bournemouth 3-0 AC Milan: two early penalties and a red card
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 0 shots on target, Milan's season low in nine
- 82 minutes in front for Bournemouth
- 7 of 20 shots on target, finishing was loose
Two early penalties set up a comfortable win
Bournemouth beat AC Milan 3-0 in the Europa League and were rarely threatened. Two early penalties gave them a 2-0 half-time lead, and they spent 82 minutes in front. Milan did not register a single shot on target, so Michele Di Gregorio was never forced into a save.
The first spot-kick tilted the match
Justin Kluivert's penalty in the eighth minute moved the two sides' FN xPts more than any other moment, worth +0.7 to Bournemouth and −0.7 to Milan. Maignan's red card and Marcus Tavernier's penalty both followed before the interval, and the match was leaning one way early on. It was Kluivert's second goal in this season's competition.
Milan's numbers sit outside their season profile
Nil shots on target was the lowest in Milan's nine matches this term, while the 20 shots they faced was the highest. A long spell a man down will have contributed, though the sample is only nine matches. Their passing totals were also the lowest of the season, which fits a side chasing the ball for long stretches.
Gannon-Doak and Hill gave Bournemouth the platform
Ben Gannon-Doak, back in the starting XI, won 12 of 22 duels and led the match for dribbles won and fouls drawn. James Hill topped the match for defensive actions, helping to keep the clean sheet. Amine Adli, introduced from the bench, added the third goal in the 84th minute.

James Hill 7.8Strong
Four tackles, two interceptions and 8 of 14 duels won underpinned a clean sheet.
FN MOM James Hill earned most of his credit for defending. Milan never found a shot on target, and Hill's work in cutting out attacks looks a significant part of that. He also put his one shot on target, showing he was involved at both ends while Bournemouth protected their lead.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth
How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist. The value next to a team code is what the same moment did to the other side's expected points; the decisive moment is the one with the largest combined change for both teams.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
