After Como took a four-goal lead against Manchester United, manager Cesc Fabregas said that he instructed his players to ease up.
Despite letting in a goal from Joshua Zirkzee in the waning moments, the Serie A team ultimately prevailed 4-1.
For Como, Nico Paz was the main attraction; he scored twice and set up Anastasios Douvikas for the second goal.
In the 76th minute, Jacobo Ramon headed in a cross to make it four goals.
“I regret the last ten minutes because I was the one who told the team to slow down the tempo because there’s another match and at 4-0 we could manage things a little,” Fabregas said, claiming that he instructed his players to reduce their intensity following Ramon’s goal.
