Key events
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 will be irritated not to have won, but their performance was much improved – in fairness against a less good team – and they have Mateta back scoring goals.

FULL TIME: Bournemouth 3-0 AC Milan
A memorable night for Bournemouth, who follow their convincing weekend win with another.
Lovely from Bournemouth again, Adli away down the right and finding Gannon-Doak on far side; they want four. But Milan get enough bodies in the way, just.
We’ll have five additional minutes at Besikts … and three at Bournemouth.
ShareFULL TIME: Celtic 1-2 Celta Vigo
No side has progressed in the Europa League after losing their first three games; Celtic are struggling.
“Ruben Amorim, it’s happened again” sing the Bournemouth fans; Amorim sees the funny side.
Here come Bournemouth again, a terrific crossfield pass from Cook taken by Rayan on the move and on the chest, which forces him past Pavlovic. The angle is tightish, but he shoots low, hard and for the far post … only for Torriani to tip around it. That’s a brilliant save.

GOAL! AFC Bournemouth 3-0 AC Milan (Adli 84)
It’s on the wrong side, but Adli isn’t bothered, waving a left foot at a terrific shot that passes through the top of the wall, which splits, beating Torriani at his near post. What a night this is for Bournemouth.

At Bournemouth, Cook and Adli stand behind a free-kick, left of centre, 22 yards out.
Gosh, more problems for Palace. Strand Larsen, wo wore that assault from Umit, turns to get after a loose ball, and pulls up with no one near him. I don’t like the look of that at all, and I fear we’ll not see him again for a weeks, at best.
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.

ShareRED CARD! Besiktas’ Umit fouls Strand Larsen and is sent off!
This is an absolutely absurd challenge, Umit leaping, both feet off the ground, and landing on Strand Larsen’s ankle. Easy decision for the ref, and just as Besiktas were taking command, he trips them up.

GOAL! Besiktas 2-2 Crystal Palace (Olaitan 73)
Olaitan nicks away from Kamada and Osorio, just outside the box, moving from centre to right, then swivels into a shot that skips into the far corner – though Benitez was perhaps a little deep. Had he been a bit further off his line, he probably stops that, good finish though it was.

Celta are pushing for a third and Celtic, beaten 4-1 at Benfica last time out, have a problem.
ShareWHAT A GOAL! Celtic 1-2 Celta Vigo (Javi Rodriguez 71)
Celta attack down the left and get around the back then, when the cut-back is cleared, Rodriguez again times his arrival perfectly, taking a touch then exploding into a drive, dead straight from 20 yards out, that Johnstone can’t get near. Two in three for Celta!

GOAL! Celtic 1-1 Celta Vigo (Javi Rodriguez 68)
A free-kick outswung from the right and Rodriguez meets it on the mooch, punishing a header that Johnstone can only help into the net.

Worse still, Evanilson hurt himself making the challenge. He’s immediately replaced by Rodriguez.
Ach, a poor touch from Tomori means he’s robbed in centrefield, Evanilson winning the ball and Gannon-Doak slipping through for Cook, and he’s in … but the ref pulls play back having blown for a foul. That’s poor from the official, because he should’ve played advantage and I don’t even think Tomori did anything wrong.
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.
Back at Parkhead, a cross into the box picks out Scales, who leaps, hangs, heads … on to the top of the bar and over.
ShareOH WHAT A GOAL! Besiktas 1-2 Crystal Palace (Mateta 55)
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!

Bournemouth are enjoying themselves, I think, knocking the ball about in midfield and making Milan run. Which I expect they can do as, dreadful though his time at Man United was, Ruben Amorim had the players fit and one of the various reasons they’re so dreadful now is they’re no longer at the same physical level.
ShareYup, it’s a goal.
The ref points to the centre-spot and Palace – who, as we said, are playing well – are level.
ShareGOAL! Besiktas 1-1 Crystal Palace (Pino 51)
Pino has the ball in the net for Palace, turning home adroitly after a ball inside the full-back releases Khalili, who picks him out with a cut-back. The ref immediately disallows it for an offside against Khalaili, but I think this’ll be overturned by VAR – he was on.

Iago Aspas is still playing for Celta Vigo. Here he is botching a chance to take them into the 2017 Europa League final.
