Once again, Lautaro Martinez showcased his brilliance as the standout performer for Serie A leaders Inter, leading them to an exhilarating 5-1 victory over Monza.

The 26-year-old Argentine striker demonstrated his prowess by netting two goals in the confident triumph at Stadio Brianteo on Saturday evening. Hakan Calhanoglu and Marcus Thuram also found the back of the net, underlining why Simone Inzaghi’s team occupies the top spot in the Serie A standings.
