AC Milan produced a statement comeback to beat Como 3–1, cutting the gap to Serie A leaders Inter to just three points and reigniting the title race.

The opening stages belonged to the hosts. Como dominated the first half and were rewarded when Kevin Kampl opened the scoring. The margin could have been greater too, were it not for a series of outstanding saves from Mike Maignan, who kept AC Milan alive with a commanding goalkeeping display.

The turning point arrived right on the stroke of half-time. Kampl brought down Adrien Rabiot inside the box, and Christopher Nkunku showed ice-cold composure from the penalty spot to level the score and swing momentum firmly in Milan’s favour.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Como continuing to push forward. Nico Paz came agonisingly close, rattling the crossbar, but the evening ultimately belonged to Adrien Rabiot. The French midfielder delivered a true midfield masterclass, scoring twice — first to put AC Milan ahead, and then to seal the victory late on with ruthless efficiency.
