After breaking his drought in the Champions League against Kairat with a fierce celebration, Lautaro Martinez finally ended his league goal drought with the goal he scored last night at San Siro against Lazio. It was a leading performance from the Argentine striker, who paved the way for his teammates towards victory with a gem after just three minutes.
Rated as one of the best on the pitch, here are the ratings he received from the main sports newspapers in Italy:
LA GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT 7.5 – “Genius. He distorts the guitar to play the right chord: that shot caressed with his body leaning back is a wonderful nonsense.”
CORRIERE DELLO SPORT 7 – “He breaks his league drought too, after 4 matchdays. His right foot isn’t clean, but the angle is perfect. He doesn’t smile, in fact he has a fierce look. And, indeed, he doesn’t hesitate to use strong manners as soon as he gets the chance. He leaves to a standing ovation from San Siro.”
TUTTOSPORT 7 – “With an outside right that brushes the top corner, he scores his 7th career goal against Lazio, reaching Sandro Mazzola in 4th place among Inter’s all-time top scorers with 161 goals. He also played a part in the second goal.”
PASSIONE INTER 7.5 – “Ready, set, and he opens the match with an exceptional goal into the top corner… good thing he wasn’t in form and not very precise in front of goal. He also had the chance to score a second goal but didn’t manage it.”
