A spectacular comeback, four goals at Como from Thuram and Dumfries

A spectacular comeback from Inter, who won 4-3 away at Como. It's a crucial result for the Nerazzurri, who move up to 75 points, nine points clear of Napoli with six games to go. The match seemed like it would prove an unconquerable challenge after Como went 2-0 up, thanks to Alex Valle and Nico Paz in the 45th minute.

Inter responded, pulling one back in stoppage time of the first half through Thuram to make it 2-1 at the break. In the second half, the Nerazzurri flipped the script as Thuram secured a brace before Dumfries ran riot, scoring twice: first with a header, then with his left foot to make it 4-2. It was a physical and intense game with plenty of bookings, and towards the end, a controversial penalty which allowed Da Cunha to pull one back to make it 4-3. There was pressure and nerves in stoppage time, but Inter held on for a huge victory.
