Inter Extends Winning Run to Two
Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Inter Milan maintained their 100% start to the season by thrashing Benevento. The former Chelsea and Manchester United striker struck inside the first minute when he turned in Achraf Hakimi’s cross before Roberto Gagliardini drove in to double the lead.
Romelu Lukaku swept in a third and although Gianluca Caprari pulled one back, Hakimi made it 4-1 before the break. Also, another former Manchester United player Alexis Sanchez set up Lautaro Martinez for Inter’s fifth goal before before Caprari got another consolation goal to round the scores to 5-2.
The victory means Inter Milan have won two games out of two so far in Italian 2020/21 Serie A season, with both being high-scoring encounters. Antonio Conte’s side won their season opener 4-3 against Fiorentina in their first game.
