Milan sink Como to close in on Inter

AC Milan cut Inter Milan’s lead at the top of Serie A to three points after coming from behind to beat Como 3-1 away, extending their unbeaten league run to 19 matches.

Como stunned the visitors early when Marc-Oliver Kempf headed home after 10 minutes and continued to threaten, only for Mike Maignan to keep Milan in the game with a series of fine saves.

Milan struck back just before the break as Christopher Nkunku converted a penalty after Kempf fouled Adrien Rabiot.

Rabiot then turned the match around in the second half, finishing calmly from Rafael Leão’s pass before sealing the win with a stunning long-range effort late on.

The result keeps Milan second ahead of Sunday’s home clash with Lecce, while Como slip despite a spirited display.
