Lautaro Martinez’s goal for Inter against Torino was one of Serie A’s most impressive ‘technical gestures’ all season, an Italian media report has argued today.
Gazzetta dello Sport claim that El Toro’s game-winning header in Turin should be studied by everyone in great detail, because it was much harder to score than most probably realised and involved all the qualities a great striker must possess.
Lautaro’s goal, which came in the 85th minute, gave Inter their eighth straight Serie A win and required intelligence, physical strength, elasticity and excellent technique.
The report said El Toro’s header at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino was even worthy of Ivan Zamorano, a specialist in headed goals during his time with the Nerazzurri.
The goal was Lautaro’s 14th of the league campaign, a joint-best for him in Serie A, and his 16th goal overall for Inter this season.
In addition to scoring 16 goals, Lautaro – who is reportedly on the verge of signing a new and improved contract with the club – has provided a total of nine assists for his teammates in his 37 appearances across all competitions.
