Como dominated, would have deserved to win, but ended up cracking against the French power. This Thursday, as part of the 16th day of Serie A, Cesc Fabregas’ club lost on home soil against AC Milan (1-3). And if he delivered a good performance, he owes his defeat to the Milanese Frenchies Christopher Nkunku, Adrien Rabiot and Mike Maignan.
While the Rossoneri had been trailing since the 10th minute following Kempf’s goal, the former Chelsea striker was the first to strike by scoring a penalty obtained by the second in stoppage time in the first period. The former PSG and OM midfielder then scored himself in the second half, even scoring twice (55th and 88th) which gave his team victory.
Meanwhile, the French goalkeeper was busy stopping Como’s offensives. In total, the Blues’ number 1 made eight saves in this match, disgusting Cesc Fabregas’ attackers. In the middle of negotiations for the extension of his contract, Mike Maignan struck a big blow this Thursday evening. “Mike is one of the three best goalkeepers in the world,” even declared his coach Massimiliano Allegri, believing that it was his goalkeeper who allowed the team to “hold on” after being behind.
For Adrien Rabiot, who had only scored one goal since the start of the season, this double and his penalty caused prove his importance in the AC Milan squad, which can also count on an increasingly efficient Christopher Nkunku, with five goals in total this season.
