Bournemouth 3-0 AC Milan

Bournemouth produced an impressive performance to claim their third consecutive Europa League victory, with set-piece quality helping them overcome AC Milan.

Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier scored first-half penalties to put the home side in control, with Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan sent off during a difficult opening period for the Italian club.

Bournemouth continued to threaten after the break, with Ryan Christie and Adrien Truffert going close before Amine Adli sealed the win with a superb free-kick six minutes from time.

Besiktas 2-2 Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace and Besiktas shared four goals in an entertaining contest in Istanbul, with both sides having opportunities to claim all three points.

Besiktas refused to give up, and substitute Junior Olaitan restored parity in the 73rd minute. The hosts then had Umit Akdag sent off four minutes later, but managed to hold on for a point.

Juventus 2-2 Rennes

Juventus preserved their unbeaten start to the competition but had to settle for a draw after Rennes fought back before Nick Woltemade rescued a point for the Italian side.

Zeki Celik gave Juventus an early lead in the fifth minute after being set up by Woltemade, but Rennes responded through Musa Al-Taamari, who finished from close range in the 15th minute.

Boulaye Dia then converted a penalty to put Rennes ahead shortly before half-time. Juventus pushed for an equaliser and found it in the 66th minute when Woltemade converted from the spot to score his third goal of the campaign.

Lech Poznan 1-1 Sunderland

Sunderland missed the opportunity to claim another Europa League victory but remained unbeaten after being held by Lech Poznan in Poland.

The visitors made a flying start when 21-year-old striker Timur Tutierov headed home in the second minute after Nilson Angulo intercepted possession and created the opportunity. Sunderland threatened to extend their advantage, with Malick Fofana hitting the woodwork, while goalkeeper Robin Roefs produced several important saves to keep Lech at bay.

Lech eventually found their equaliser in the 70th minute through Leo Bengtsson's well-taken finish. Both teams pushed for a winner in the closing stages, but Roefs made further crucial stops and Chris Rigg sent a curling effort narrowly over the crossbar.
