Inter were absolutely clinical on the counter-attack, with a commanding performance from Romelu Lukaku, as Lazio didn’t translate possession into goals.
Wesley Hoedt thought he’d got the ball with a sliding tackle on Lautaro Martinez, but the referee was correct when seeing the defender’s trailing leg caught his man first and assigned the penalty.

VAR was called into action on the second goal too, as Lukaku was initially flagged offside, but he was level when Marcelo Brozovic played the ball, making Manuel Lazzari’s ricochet irrelevant.
Lazio did pull one back through a Sergej Milinkovic-Savic free kick deflected off Gonzalo Escalante.
However, Lukaku activated Beast Mode moments later, running from his own half to set up Lautaro Martinez.
