Lautaro Martinez ended his post-Copa America slump 42 days into Inter Milan’s Serie A season, scoring twice in a 3-2 win for the defending champion at Udinese on Saturday.
Lautaro Martinez - The Canadian PressROME —
But he acknowledged after last weekend’s derby loss to AC Milan that he hadn’t been in top shape after going scoreless in Inter’s opening five Serie A games — plus a 0-0 draw at Manchester City in the Champions League during which he was benched at the start for his lack of fitness. After Davide Frattesi opened the scoring for Inter and Christian Kabasele equalized for Udinese, Lautaro struck either side of halftime. First, he bundled over the line after missing an initial attempt. Then he finished off a setup from Marcus Thuram to revive the scoring tandem that powered Inter to the title last season.Lorenzo Lucca pulled one back for Udinese late in the second half.
Juventus has kept six consecutive clean sheets to start the season. One more clean sheet and the Bianconeri will match the record set by Cagliari in 1966.
