Randal Kolo Muani converted an 89th-minute penalty to earn Juventus a 2-1 win at Como on Friday, continuing his brilliant start to life in Serie A.<\/p>\n

Juventus visited Cesc Fabregas\u2019 team needing a victory to ease the pressure on head coach Thiago Motta, who had overseen 13 draws in his first 23 league games at the helm.<\/p>\n

It looked like they might be frustrated yet again despite Kolo Muani \u2013 who recently arrived from Paris Saint-Germain on loan \u2013 putting them ahead against the run of play in the 34th minute.<\/p>\n

The hosts deservedly levelled on the stroke of half-time through Assane Diao\u2019s header, and a quiet second half seemed set to finish all-square.<\/p>\n

However, a late foul by Como goalkeeper Jean Butez gave Juventus a spot-kick, which Kolo Muani confidently slotted home.<\/p>\n

The win takes Juventus to fourth in the standings on 43 points, one ahead of Fiorentina, who play second-placed Inter on Monday, and Lazio who take on Monza on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Data Debrief: Kolo Muani\u2019s historic start<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kolo Muani struggled for regular minutes after returning to his homeland to join PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt, but moving to Turin has given him a new lease of life.<\/p>\n

He is the first player to ever score five goals in his first three Serie A appearances in the three-points-for-a-win era (starting in 1994-95).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
