Lautaro Martinez on target as Inter beat Salernitana

Goals from Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella gave Inter all three points as they overtake Juventus and move just one point off the top six.

Nicolo Barella found Martinez who struck viciously from distance past Sepe and into the bottom corner.

They found the decisive second goal in the 59th minute, meaning they scored in the 19th minute of both the first half and the 19th minute of the second half.

Hakan Calhanoglu played a super ball over the top to Barella who had a lot do, but did it wonderfully. He controlled well, before bringing the ball onto his left foot and then smashing it into the bottom corner to effectively kill off the match. From then on it was a very professional display from Inter.

Inzaghi's side, who have conceded 10 times in the second half of Serie A matches this season, managed possession expertly and limited Salernitana to very little. In the end, the home side came out of this match with three valuable points as they look to close the gap on the top six following a slow start to the season.
