Como overturn Torino with three goals in the final ten minutes

Cesc Fàbregas’s Como came from behind to beat Torino 3-1 in Serie A on Tuesday, scoring all three goals in the final ten minutes. Torino also threatened to extend its lead through Rafik Belghali, who got past Jacobo Ramón inside the area but was denied by a decisive save from Robert Sánchez. That intervention kept Como in the contest before the visitors finished strongly.

Torino had taken the lead through Adams, who was set up by Fitz-Jim after he won the ball from Ramón. Como kept the initiative after the break, and its substitutions gave the side fresh impetus. It took until the closing stages, however, for that pressure to change the scoreline.

In the 82nd minute, Nico Paz sent the ball to the far post and Jacobo Ramón headed in the equaliser. Paz, back in action after not playing in the previous round, then put Como ahead. In the 87th minute, Yan Couto crossed from the right and the Argentinian got in front of the defence to head home. In added time, a mistake by Nikola Vlasic left Baturina one-on-one with Paleari, and he scored Como’s third. Nico Paz was central to a comeback that secured the visitors’ win.

The result comes with Torino eighth in Serie A on 13 points after nine matches. Its league record stands at four wins, one draw and four defeats, with 14 goals scored and 14 conceded. Across its last five Serie A matches, Torino has recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat. Como’s victory followed a match in which Torino had held the lead for much of the game, only for goals from Ramón, Paz and Baturina to turn the score around.
