Kolo Muani scores another brace as Juventus strike late to beat Como
COMO, Italy (AP) --- Kolo Muani's penalty in the 89th minute sent Juventus past
Como 2-1 in an unconvincing Serie A win on Friday.
Muani, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, scored twice for the second game in a
row.
He fired into the roof of the net from a tight angle in the 34th minute but
Cesc Fabregas' Como drew level on the stroke of halftime. Patrick Cutrone did
well to dispossess Teun Koopmeiners on the left and Assane Diao made no mistake
in heading home his cross.
Muani gave the visitors all three points with a penalty after Jean Butez
handled. He's scored five times in three games.
The win lifted Juventus to fourth, a point above Lazio and Fiorentina, both of
whom have a game in hand. Lazio play bottom club Monza on Sunday, while
Fiorentina take on second-placed Inter Milan on Monday.
The loss was the third in a row for Como, which was 15th, just two points above
the relegation zone.
