Como extends its unbeaten run in Serie A to 11 matches

COMO, Italy (AP) — Como beat Sassuolo 2-0 and extended its Serie A unbeaten run to 11 matches on Friday.

Cesc Fàbregas’ team hasn’t lost since the end of August when it was beaten by Bologna 1-0.

The run includes wins at Fiorentina and at home to Juventus and Friday’s victory was its second Serie A triumph in five days following Monday’s 5-1 drubbing of Torino.

Como, which also had a cup victory in September, took the lead after 13 minutes with a training ground move.

Its practiced corner did not come off as seamlessly as planned, but it did lead to a loose ball in the box that Anastasios Douvikas poked home from close range.

Spanish defender Alberto Moreno, starting only his second game in the league, made it 2-0 eight minutes into the second half when he got a head on Nico Paz’s delightful chip over the Sassuolo defense.

The Argentine midfielder on-loan from Real Madrid was once again a standout performer for Como and one of the reasons the club is just three points off Serie A leader Roma.

The capital club has 27 points, two ahead of Milan and Napoli and three clear of Inter, Bologna and Como.

Sassuolo is ninth.
