Lautaro Martinez scores twice as Inter easily defeat the home team in a Serie A match.

Lautaro Martinez, the star striker for Inter, had plenty to celebrate after scoring his team’s first goal in their recent Serie A TIM match against US Lecce. The match took place at the Stadio Via del Mare, and despite a somewhat lackluster performance from Inter, they managed to secure a convincing 4-0 victory over a deflated Lecce side.

This win was crucial for Inter as it restored their nine-point advantage over second-place Juventus, solidifying their position as the Serie A leaders. However, it was clear that Inter had one eye on their upcoming game against Atalanta, as manager Simone Inzaghi made the decision to rest key players such as Hakan Calhanoglu, Benjamin Pavard, and Alessandro Bastoni.

The rotation of players revealed some weaknesses in Inter’s performance during the first half. However, Martinez’s goal in the 15th minute provided the breakthrough that Inter needed to take the lead going into halftime. This goal was particularly significant for Martinez, as it marked his 100th goal in Serie A and his 21st goal of the season.

The second half saw a dramatic turn of events, as Lecce completely switched off and allowed Inter to dominate the game. Davide Frattesi capitalized on an excellent pass from Alexis Sanchez to score Inter’s second goal just eight minutes into the half. Martinez continued his impressive performance by scoring his second goal of the match shortly after the restart, further extending Inter’s lead.

The match was effectively over as a contest when Stefan De Vrij rose to head in a corner from Federico Dimarco, securing Inter’s fourth goal of the game. This victory marked Inter’s 10th consecutive win and also set a new record for the club, as it was the first time they had ever scored in 20 consecutive away fixtures.

Overall, despite a somewhat diminished performance, Inter managed to secure a convincing victory over Lecce. This win not only restored their lead at the top of Serie A but also showcased the impressive goal-scoring abilities of Lautaro Martinez. With their sights set on future matches, Inter will be looking to maintain their winning streak and continue their strong form in the league.
