COMO, Italy, April ⁠12 (Reuters) - Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries ⁠scored twice each as Inter Milan rallied ‌from two goals down to beat Como 4-3 away on Sunday and extend their lead at the ​top of Serie A to ⁠nine points.

Inter moved to ⁠75 points with six games remaining, taking advantage ⁠of ‌second-placed Napoli’s 1-1 draw at Parma earlier in the day.

Como were ⁠on top before the break and went ​two goals ‌clear through Alex Valle and Nico ⁠Paz, but ​Thuram pulled one back with the last kick of the first half and struck again ⁠in the 49th minute after ​a defensive error to level the match.

Dumfries completed the comeback in the 58th minute, heading Inter ⁠in front from a Hakan Calhanoglu free kick, before adding his second in the 72nd minute from a Manuel Akanji knockdown.

Lucas ​Da Cunha converted a late ⁠penalty after Paz was fouled by Ange-Yoan ​Bonny, but Inter held on ‌to maintain firm control ​of the title race.
