"AC Milan overcame early adversity against Como to come from behind and record a huge three points on Thursday night. Marc-Oliver Kempf scored for the home side in the 10th minute, but Massimiliano Allegri's men responded well. Christopher Nkunku equalised with a penalty just before the break that Adrien Rabiot won, then Rabiot turned scorer as he netted a second-half brace in an eventual 3-1 win."
"They had 68% of the ball, a higher Expected Goals number, over double the total shots, twice the amount of shots on target and double the corners. Of course what matters is what you do with the ball and how many times you manage to find the net. The fact that the 'big chances' metric shows 2-2 suggests that it really could have gone either way in actual fact, though Mike Maignan's heroics tell a different story."
"Milan (12W, 7D) has remained unbeaten for 19 consecutive Serie A matches for the first time since the period between January and May 2005, with Carlo Ancelotti as coach (19 - 15W, 4D). The Rossoneri have won five consecutive Serie A matches against Como for the first time in its history. Milan (three goals against Como with seven shots) scored more than two goals in a Serie A match with a maximum of seven shots for the first time since February 16, 2019."
AC Milan came from behind to beat Como 3-1 after Marc-Oliver Kempf opened the scoring in the 10th minute. Christopher Nkunku levelled from a penalty won by Adrien Rabiot, and Rabiot completed a second-half brace to secure the win. Milan dominated possession and most statistical categories, including 68% possession, higher expected goals, and double the shots and corners, but big chances were even at 2-2. Mike Maignan produced key saves. Milan extended an unbeaten Serie A run to 19 matches and reached several seasonal and historical milestones. Rabiot scored his first away brace in top-five European leagues.
