On the eve of Christmas Eve, the end of the 17th day of Serie A was played this Monday evening. The promoted Como traveled to its neighbor Lombardy to face Inter Milan on the lawn of the Giuseppe Meazza stadium. Simone Inzaghi’s players pocketed three new valuable points in the title race. In this victory (2-0) at home, the Nerazzurri can thank French striker Marcus Thuram, author of a fantastic goal to seal the success.
Indeed, in added time of the match, the former Borussia Mönchengladbach scorer distinguished himself with a superb collective action which began with a pigeon’s wing throw in the Frenchman’s central circle for Piotr Zieliński. The Polish midfielder then passed the ball deep to Thuram who advanced, delayed and eliminated his opposite number to enter the area in order to land a powerful strike under the bar of Pepe Reina. He is now at 12 goals in Serie A, tied with Retegui of Atalanta.
