Inter moves closer to Serie A title after Napoli draw

Inter Milan came back from two goals down for a 4-3 victory at Como and extended its Serie A led to nine points with six rounds remaining.

Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries each had braces for Inter, which took advantage of second-place Napoli being held 1-1 at Parma earlier to increase its advantage on Sunday.

Alex Valle and Nico Paz scored for Como late in the first half before Thuram started the comeback with a goal in first-half added time.

Lucas Da Cunha pulled one back with a penalty for Como in the 89th.

The teams will meet again in the second leg of the Italian Cup semifinals later this month after a 0-0 first leg.

It was another encouraging sign for Inter after a 5-2 victory over Roma last weekend ended a three-match winless streak.
