Lautaro Martínez places Inter second in Serie A
[ad_1]
With a double from Argentine Lautaro Martínez, Inter Milan suffered to defeat bottom club Cremonese 2-1 as a visitor, but added three points that provisionally placed the ‘Nerazzurri’ in second place in the Serie A standings.
La Cremonese, who have not won a single game in 20 rounds of the Italian championship, took the lead through Nigerian David Okereke at the start of the duel (11) and Inter turned the score around with Lautaro Martínez’s double.
The world champion with Argentina tied a few minutes after the local goal, taking advantage of rival goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi’s rebound from a shot by Bosnian Edin Dzeko (21) and completed the comeback after the hour of play with a shot at the turn inside the area (65).
Lautaro Martínez has already scored 11 goals this season in Serie A and is only two behind the Nigerian from Napoli Victor Oshimen, leader of the top scorers table.
With the score against them, the Cremonese looked for an equalizer in the last minutes, but neither Cristian Buonaiuto (78) nor the Frenchman Soualiho Meïté (80) managed to beat the Cameroonian Inter goalkeeper André Onana.
With this victory, Inter reaches 40 points, 10 behind leader Napoli, who host Roma on Sunday (5th with 37 points).
Behind Inter are Milan (3rd with 38 points before hosting Sassuolo on Sunday), Lazio (who plays against Fiorentina on Sunday) and Roma with 37 and Atalanta with 35, although they have to host Sampdoria this Saturday.
La Cremonese, for their part, will remain bottom of Serie A for another week, with salvation at 9 points… at least.
In addition, it is getting closer to equaling the record shared by Varese (1971-1972 season) and Ancona (2003-2004) as teams with the most consecutive defeats since the start of the championship, with 28.
