Paz fires Como to historic win over Juve, Inter go top of Serie A

Rising star Nico Paz shone again for Como with a goal and assist in Sunday's landmark 2-0 win over Juventus, which lifted the traditionally tiny club up to fifth place in Serie A.

Argentina international Paz set up Marc-Oliver Kempf to sweep home in the fourth minute at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, before making sure of Como's first win against Juve since 1952 with a wonderful individual goal with 12 minutes remaining.

Paz scampered down the right flank before cutting inside Andrea Cambiaso and curling a superb finish past Michele Di Gregorio, a goal which pushed Como above Juve on goal difference.

Coached by former Spain and Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas, ambitious Como are on 12 points from seven matches, only three behind the division's leading trio of Inter Milan, Napoli and Roma.

"He's a great player, I'm not worried about his future because I can tell when a player is hungry, whether they have the right mentality to become a top player or whether they're a flash in the pan," said Fabregas to DAZN.

"He can go wherever he wants to go, he just needs to stay humble and keep his work ethic, because the talent and physical presence are there."

Fabregas, who was suspended on Sunday, watched his team claim a huge win in front of his old Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
