Bournemouth 3-0 Milan, Celtic 1-2 Celta Vigo, and more: Europa League – as it happened

Righto, that’s it from us for tonight. An amazing one for Bournemouth and a disastrous one for Celtic, with Palace and Sunderland somewhere in the middle. I’ll leave you, though, with the best thing I saw during it: Robin Roefs’ double save. Peace out.

Palace want a penalty, Wharton disguising a nice ball into Kamada, which takes him by Djalo. And before he shoot, he has arms around him, falls, and the ref gestures that he should get up. I don’t know, on the one hand, Kamada might’ve stayed u, shot and scored but, on the other, he may has gone down easily but there’s just no way that isn’t a foul.

It’s hammering it down at Bournemouth. Pre-match, Marco Rose was already talking about Sunday’s three-point banker at Old Trafford, so I’d expect a lot of keep-ball in the remaining half-hour, and actually, here come changes, Adams, Kluivert and Tavernier off, with Cook, Rayan and Toth on.

Disallow that! A ball in behind, inside-left channel, and Mateta gets his body between it and Akdag, who clambers over him but can’t circumnavigate his frame. Even so, though, the finish is unexpected, a rise leathered brutally that beats Nubel at his near post, shrieking into the roof. One game back, one goal, and the corner flag is booted as accurately as it was the last time he scored for Palace, in last season’s Conference League final. Two goals in four minutes and now they lead!
