Inter Milan comes from behind to defeat Como, advancing in the Serie A title race.
Inter Milan rallied from a two-goal deficit to secure a 4-3 win against Como on Sunday, extending their Serie A lead to nine points with six matches left in the season.
Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries each netted two goals for Inter, capitalizing on second-place Napoli’s 1-1 draw at Parma earlier in the day to widen their lead.
Como’s Alex Valle and Nico Paz found the net late in the first half before Thuram initiated the comeback with a goal in first-half stoppage time.
Lucas Da Cunha converted a penalty for Como in the 89th minute.
The teams are set to face each other again in the second leg of the Italian Cup semifinals later this month following a 0-0 draw in the first leg.
This victory was another positive indication for Inter after a 5-2 triumph over Roma last weekend, which ended a three-match winless streak.
Cristian Chivu is aiming to clinch the Serie A title in his inaugural season at the helm of Inter after taking over from the departed Simone Inzaghi.
Como fell from fourth to fifth place, just outside the Champions League qualification spots.
Napoli conceded a goal just 33 seconds into their match, a draw that could jeopardize their chances of defending the Serie A title.
Scott McTominay equalized for Napoli in the 60th minute after Gabriel Strefezza opened the scoring early with a play initiated by a long ball from Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.
This result halted Napoli’s five-match winning streak.
Parma climbed nine points clear of the relegation zone, moving up to 14th place.
Earlier on Sunday, Bologna defeated Lecce 2-0 with goals from Remo Freuler and Riccardo Orsolini, while Genoa overcame Sassuolo 2-1 with goals from Ruslan Malinovskyi and Caleb Ekuban.
