Jayden Addai scores 2 goals as Como beats Torino 5-1 to move into Serie A top 6
TURIN, Italy (AP) --- Jayden Addai scored a goal in each half as Como beat
Torino 5-1 on Monday to move into the top six of Serie A and extend its
unbeaten run to 11 matches in all competitions.
The 20-year-old Dutch winger put Cesc Fbregas' team ahead nine minutes before
the break when he got on the end of a precise cutback from Jesus Rodriguez.
Torino equalized on the stroke of halftime when Nikola Vlasic scored a penalty
after a handball in the box.
But Addai slotted home a low right-footed shot from 20 meters seven minutes
after the restart to put Como back in the driver's seat.
Spaniard Jacobo Ramn added a third with a header in the 71st before Nico Paz
made it 4-1 five minutes later.
Martin Baturina took advantage of a poor back pass to rifle the ball under the
goalkeeper to close out the scoring.
Como's first victory at Torino since April 1986 lifted the team into sixth
place, one point above Juventus.
Torino remains in 12th place.
Later, Sassuolo and Pisa drew 2-2 in a clash of clubs led by World Cup winning
teammates Fabio Grosso and Alberto Gilardino.
Kristian Thorstvedt poked home a cross for Sassuolo in the fifth minute of
second-half stoppage time to salvage a point.
Pisa took the lead after just four minutes when a video review pulled back play
and awarded it an early penalty. Angola striker M'Bala Nzola scored his second
spot kick of the season.
However, Sassuolo was level two minutes later. A headed clearance fell kindly
to Nemanja Matic whose swiveled volley gave keeper Adrian Semper no chance.
Henrik Wendel Meister's deflected shot with nine minutes left put Pisa back in
front before Thorstvedt's late equalizer for ninth-place Sassuolo.
Pisa has now gone six league games without defeat, although Giladrino's team
remains in 16th place.
