Inter Milan cruise past Como while Juventus held in Florence

Inter Milan returned to form following their recent derby defeat, overcoming a resilient Como side 2-0 at the San Siro. Francesco Pio Esposito opened the scoring early on, with Marcus Thuram doubling the lead shortly after to ensure the hosts moved within a point of league leaders Lazio.

The victory marked a significant milestone for Esposito, who became the first Italian player born in 2005 or later to reach double figures in Serie A goals. Despite Como’s recent strong form, they were unable to break down the Inter defense, leaving manager Cesc Fabregas with plenty to ponder.

Juventus fight back in thrilling draw

Elsewhere, Juventus were forced to show their resilience in a high-intensity 2-2 draw against Fiorentina. The home side took the lead on two occasions through Mateo Pellegrino and Alieu Njie, but Nick Woltemade and Bremer responded both times to secure a point for Luciano Spalletti’s men.

The match was a frantic affair featuring 40 total attempts, with Fiorentina feeling aggrieved after a late goal was disallowed for a foul on Bremer. The result leaves Juventus sitting seventh in the standings as they look to find greater consistency in the coming weeks.
