Kolo Muani double saves Juve at Como

COMO, Italy: Randal Kolo Muani shot Juventus into Serie A´s Champions League positions after netting a brace, including the late winning penalty, in Friday´s 2-1 win at Como.

France forward Kolo Muani took his Juve tally to five goals in three matches as he begins his loan spell from Paris Saint-Germain in fine form.

After ramming home Juve´s 34th-minute opener from a tight angle Kolo Muani was cool from the penalty spot with a minute remaining after Federico Gatti was clattered by Como goalkeeper Jean Butez.

Thiago Motta´s side are only one point ahead of Fiorentia and Lazio who face Inter Milan and Monza this weekend, with Inter coming to Turin next weekend. “I´m very happy to score again,” said Kolo Muani to DAZN.

“We played very good as a team. It was a diffcult game today but we are very happy. “I´m a striker and I need to score, so for me a penalty is very important for the confidence.”
