Inter Milan wingback Denzel Dumfries returned to the scoresheet in Serie A for the first time since September, inspiring his side to a 4-3 win at Como last night.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Dutch star emerged as the visitors’ standout performer at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Cristian Chivu’s side took advantage of Napoli’s slip-up at Parma to restore a nine-point gap at the top of the table.
Furthermore, the Nerazzurri fought back from a two-goal deficit to pull off a fourth consecutive league double over Como.
Despite trailing Cesc Fabregas’ team by two goals heading into the first-half stoppage time, Inter claimed a precious victory at the Sinigaglia.
Denzel Dumfries Runs the Show in Como 3-4 Inter Milan Comeback
French striker Marcus Thuram stepped up to the plate in the absence of Lautaro Martinez to initiate the comeback at the tail-end of the first half.
Moreover, the 28-year-old leveled the score only four minutes after the break.
Meanwhile, Denzel Dumfries completed the turnaround just before the hour mark with a signature header, turning home Hakan Calhanoglu’s set-piece delivery.
However, the Dutch ace refused to rest on their laurels. Instead, he pounced on Manuel Akanji’s cutback to put clear daylight between the sides.
In doing so, the former PSV Eindhoven defender earned a flattering ‘Man of the Match’ award.
On the other hand, Francesco Pio Esposito failed to meet expectations, as the young center-forward continues to struggle after Italy’s heartbreak in Zenica.
