Inter Milan 3-0 Spezia: Lautaro Martinez scores as Nerazzurri notch second consecutive Serie A win

Inter Milan produced a dominant display to beat Spezia 3-0 and notch a second consecutive Serie A win on Saturday, with Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu and Joaquin Correa getting on the scoresheet at San Siro. The Nerazzurri required a last-gasp winner to beat Lecce in their league opener last weekend but had no such worries in their home bow, as they recorded a victory that could have been even more comfortable.

The Nerazzurri attack eventually started to flex its muscles as Martinez hit the side-netting and Dumfries blazed over, and the Argentine found the breakthrough when he raced onto Lukaku’s nod-down to hammer home an unstoppable finish.
