Original title: topping the table! Lukaku's power helps Inter crush Blue Eagles, deadlock Milan in next round
Before the match with Lazio, Inter Milan has received good news after good news, because in the previous matches, the main rivals for the title, AC Milan and Juventus, lost one after another, which undoubtedly gave the blue and black army a great encouragement. However, Conte's team still needs to be careful, on the one hand, they just couldn't break through Juve's goal in the Coppa Italia in midweek, and could only swallow the bitter fruit of being knocked out on the road, and it seems that Inter Milan has always been disappointing in the matter of dropping the chain this season. On the other hand, Lazio's own strength is not weak, they are a strong contender for the fourth, the first round of this season's meeting did not let the blue and black army take advantage.
After the kickoff, Inter found themselves with a big hitter in the form of Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian made the ball to Lautaro in the first half and Inter collected a penalty when the Argentine was brought down in the box. The little devil managed to deceive Reina in front of the twelve-yard box to score the penalty. Lukaku has hit all 10 of his penalties in Serie A in the last 2 seasons, and of the players in the top 5 leagues who have hit 100% of their penalties in the same period, no one has scored more penalties than him. Just before half-time, Lady Luck favored the Beast again. Brozovic's scuffed ball touched a Blue Eagles defender and came to Lukaku's feet by mistake, and the Belgian turned and fired in his 300th career goal. Amazingly, Lukaku achieved this milestone at the tender age of 27. In the resume of several famous strikers, only Messi than beyond the small beast to complete the time earlier. After this round, Lukaku has tied Crowe for first place in the Serie A top scorers list.

In the second half, after Lazio equalized, Inter were quite nervous from top to bottom, from coaches to players, after all, they experienced too many such situations in the cup and league this season. But the good thing is that Lukaku showed crushing strength. In the counterattack, the Belgian is like a high-speed Mercedes-Benz tank, directly over the Lazio defense line after assisting Lautaro easily pushed the empty goal. Although Lazio then launched a siege on Inter's defense, but the blue and black army still held this hard-won victory.
After this game, Inter Milan topped AC Milan with a 1-point advantage, leading third-place Roma by 7 points and Juve by 8 points with one less game to play, and the fight for the Serie A title is gradually entering a white heat.

After all, the last time they won the cup was in 2010, and the Blue and Blacks need this title so badly to boost their morale. However, they can't afford to be complacent, as they are only halfway through the campaign and their lead is not that big. The next round will be another Milan derby against AC Milan, so let's look forward to next week's Battle of Kings.
