AC Milan delivered a composed performance on the road to secure a 1-3 victory away to Como, with a penalty from Christopher Nkunku and a fine brace from Adrien Rabiot earning all three points in Serie A on Thursday night.
The result keeps the Rossoneri firmly in the title hunt and extends their unbeaten run in the league.
The hosts drew first blood in the early stages when Marc-Oliver Kempf powered home from close range to give Como a shock lead.
However, Milan gradually wrestled control back as the game progressed, responding in fine fashion to swing the momentum before half-time.
Just before the break, Milan were awarded a penalty after an attack saw Adrien Rabiot brought down in the box.
Christopher Nkunku stepped up and struck the spot-kick with power and precision, sending it under the goalkeeper and restoring parity heading into the second half.
Once the second half began, Milan’s quality began to shine through. Rabiot emerged as the match-winner, first converting a well-taken chance shortly after the break to give the visitors the lead, and then sealing the result with a stunning strike late on to make it 3-1 and secure the three points.
The victory sees Milan close the gap on Serie A leaders Inter Milan, trailing by three points, and stretches their unbeaten league run to 19 games (12 wins and 7 draws), underscoring their consistency as they press on across the campaign.
Milan’s response to going behind illustrated their resilience and depth. Despite Como’s spirited start and tactical organisation, the Rossoneri’s clinical edge in and around the box ultimately proved the difference.
The performance also highlighted Rabiot’s importance to the side’s engine room, combining defensive discipline with decisive attacking contributions.
Heading into the second half of the season, this result gives Milan momentum and confidence as they look to maintain pressure at the top end of the table.
With key victories on the road now becoming almost routine, Massimiliano Allegri’s side are poised to stay in the Scudetto conversation as the race unfolds.
