Romelu Lukaku scores his 19th and 20th goals of the season against Benevento (VIDEOS)

Inter Milan won 4-0 against Benevento in a match counting for Matchday 20 of the league on Saturday night. Romelu Lukaku signed a brace before leaving the field (81st). Among the visitors, Daam Foulon is up to the game (70th). In the standings, Inter are 2nd with 44 points, two less than AC Milan who won 1-2 earlier today in Bologna. Benevento (22 points) occupies the 12th position. In the first half, Inter was really boss at home and quickly took command thanks to an autogoal from Riccardo Improta on a free kick taken by Christian Eriksen (7th, 1-0). The Dane also served to the millimeter Achraf Hakimi, who fit into the rectangle, but the header of the Moroccan international missed (34th). Lautaro Martinez also missed an opportunity to double the gap: after building on Nicolo Barella, the Argentinian found himself in an optimal position but sent the ball over the crossbar (36th). Lukaku had not yet entered the match.

After the break, Roberto Gagliardini launched Lautaro in a corridor and after having benefited from a counter, the Argentinian scored his 11th goal after four weeks of abstinence (57th, 2-0). The Martinez-Lukaku duo is prolific and on a service from the Argentinian, Lukaku deceived the opposing goalkeeper (67th, 3-0). It was not over since the Red Devil, despite a not really extraordinary evening, signed a double on an assist from Alexis Sanchez (78th, 4-0). This is Lukaku’s 20th goal this season in all competitions, and 14th in the league. This earned him second place in the gunners ranking behind Cristiano Ronaldo (15).
