Moise Kean continued his revival at Fiorentina by netting in a 2-0 win at Como which was his team's seventh in a row in Serie A.

The 24-year-old has been reborn in Florence after failing to score a single goal at Juventus last season and has scored seven times in his last four matches in Italy's top flight.

"Obviously people look at the goal, but the whole team has worked very hard with him ... he's developing and starting to reap the rewards," said Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino.

Kean's 68th-minute strike was his ninth in 12 league appearances under Palladino, whose team host champions Inter next weekend.

Fiorentina didn't have things all their own way and had David de Gea to thank for a superb triple save on the hour mark when they still only led by Yacine Adli's 20th-minute opener.

Como are one point and place above Lecce, who are just inside the relegation zone and take on bottom side Venezia on Monday, after a fifth defeat in a worrying seven-match winless run.
