Theo Hernandez Breaks Milan Scoring Record in Como Clash
In Tuesday’s Serie A encounter between AC Milan and Como, Theo Hernandez etched his name in the club’s history books. The French left-back netted his 30th Serie A goal for Milan, surpassing the previous record held by the legendary Paolo Maldini for most goals scored by a defender in the Italian top flight.
Hernandez’s equalizer came in dramatic fashion, as he managed to loop the ball over Como’s goalkeeper Jean Butez with what appeared to be a mishit off his shin. The goal leveled the score at 1-1, marking Hernandez’s third of the current campaign but his first since September’s victory over Lecce.
Shortly after Hernandez’s historic strike, Rafael Leao put Milan ahead with a delicate chip, giving Sergio Conceicao’s side a 2-1 advantage. The match showcased Milan’s resilience and offensive prowess, with their defensive star continuing to contribute significantly in attack.
This record-breaking performance further cements Hernandez’s status as one of the most prolific attacking full-backs in modern football. His ability to contribute offensively while maintaining his defensive duties has made him an integral part of Milan’s squad and a fan favorite at San Siro.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Hernandez to see how far he can extend his new scoring record and help propel Milan in their pursuit of domestic and European success.
