As has already happened several times this season, Milan also delivered a dreadful first half yesterday in Como, perhaps the worst of their campaign. The Rossoneri fell behind, were kept alive by a series of saves from Mike Maignan, and then came back to life after the break, first equalising through a Christopher Nkunku penalty and then completing the turnaround with a brace from Adrien Rabiot.
Milan earn three golden points against Como:
As reported this morning by Corriere della Sera, this win allows the red and black team to keep pace in the title race with Inter, who are now only three points ahead. Yesterday’s result was Milan’s 19th consecutive positive result in the league, with their last defeat dating back to the opening matchday against Cremonese, the club had not managed such a long run since 2005. Once again, the Rossoneri showed great character, resilience, and clinical edge, taking home three golden points for the standings. In addition to closing the gap at the top, they also extended their advantage over fifth place.
The Frenchmen lead AC Milan:
The standout figures of the evening for Milan were undoubtedly Maignan and Rabiot. The goalkeeper proved decisive on several occasions with his saves, showing he fully deserves the contract renewal that now seems increasingly close, while the midfielder first won the penalty converted by Nkunku and then scored his first brace in a Milan shirt. After two draws against Genoa and Fiorentina, Milan have bounced back and remain firmly in the Serie A title race.
