Lucas Da Cunha converted a penalty in the 43rd minute to give Como a 1-0 victory over Venezia in Sunday's Serie A fixture at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, according to multiple outlets.
The win is Como's fourth in a row in the league and lifts Cesc Fabregas's side to fourth place on 23 points, two behind leaders Inter, according to AS and Mundo Deportivo. Venezia, who suffered their third consecutive defeat, remain rooted to the foot of the table.
FootVal values Da Cunha at €31m — fractionally above his €30m Transfermarkt market value. The French international captain had gone without a goal in his nine previous league appearances this season before Sunday's penalty. Como face a trip to Lens in the Champions League on Wednesday.
