Bournemouth achieve historic milestone in European debut

AFC Bournemouth continues to defy expectations in their debut European campaign. Following a decisive 3-0 victory over AC Milan at home on October 22, the club has now secured three consecutive wins in the Europa League group stage, accumulating a perfect nine points.

A historic run for the Cherries

This achievement places the club in elite company. According to Opta statistics, Bournemouth is the first English team to win their first three major European matches since Sunderland accomplished the feat during the 1973/74 season in the European Cup Winners' Cup.

The club's trajectory remains remarkable. Only seventeen years ago, in 2009, Bournemouth was competing in League Two, the fourth tier of English football. Since then, they have climbed through the divisions to reach the Europa League, where they previously defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 and Sturm Graz 3-0.

With this latest win against Italian giants AC Milan, the team has firmly established its presence on the continental stage, marking a historic chapter in the club's long-standing history.
