This AC Milan side is as crazy as it gets. After coming from behind against Lecce (2-3), Sergio Conceicao's team does the same at San Siro vs Como (2-1)
This can't be a coincidence. For the second time in a row, the Rossonerri celebrate a Serie A victory after coming from behind. Last week, they did it at Lecce, bouncing back from a 2-0 down to win 3-2.
Tonight, Milan clinched another important win after topping Cesc Fabregas' Como 2-1, who were the ones to break the deadlock before the half-time break.
Como took the lead when the home side's keeper, Maignan, rushed off his line to deny Nico Paz with his chest. Things didn't go smoothly for the French keeper, as Como's move kept going, and Cunha fired from the edge of the area to make it 1-0.
Milan grabbed the equaliser as Reijnders passed it to Pulisic, who was the man behind the previous comeback against Lecce, too.

After the assist, Reijnders added his name to a scoresheet as Tammy Abraham made an excellent pass to send Reijnders through as he finished it superbly from 12 yards.
The most interesting moment of the match was just about to happen, though, as Dele Alli made his Serie A debut for Como, in his first game since February 2023.
However, that return was quite unsuccessful because he was sent off just eight minutes later for the clumsy tackle on Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Dele Alli was sent off after receiving a red card just nine minutes into his first professional appearance in two years.

Even Kyle Walker was pleading with the ref to keep the initial yellow and to not change it to a red 💔 pic.twitter.com/B6hWGYeHks
