Como down Genoa to go top of Serie A

Cesc Fabregas's side have seven points from three matches after their come-from-behind 4-1 win at Genoa.

Como secured the top position in Serie A after a thrilling 4-1 victory over Genoa on Friday. Senegalese youngster Assane Diao scored twice in the match, helping his team come from behind for the win. Cesc Fabregas' side, who finished fourth last season and qualified for the Champions League for the first time, have accumulated seven points from just three matches.

Como, due to renovation work at their Stadio Guiseppe Sinigaglia, has yet to host a home game this season. Genoa took the lead in the 19th minute when Milutin Osmajic took advantage of a quick counter-attack to finish off a low cross from Lorenzo Colombo. Martin Baturina equalized six minutes later with a long-range shot, and Diao put Como ahead on the half-hour mark with a volley.

Nico Paz extended the lead for Como in the 15th minute, capitalizing on a ball played in behind him by Yan Couto. Diao sealed the victory with 12 minutes remaining by slotting into the corner after brilliant play from Moise Kean, who made his debut as a loan signing from Fiorentina.
