Inter striker Lautaro Martinez took his goal tally for the season to 21 in Serie A with his match-winning brace against Cagliari yesterday evening.
This total puts the Argentine in an elite group, especially considering his age, and only five other players have managed the feat at such a young age in the entire history of the Nerazzurri in fact.
Football statistics account Opta highlighted the 24-year-old’s feat in a tweet after the match.
Their tweet reads, “20 – Lautaro Martínez became the sixth player in Inter’s history to score 20 goals in a single Serie A season before turning 25, after Giuseppe Meazza, Sandro Mazzola, Antonio Angelillo, Ronaldo and Mauro Icardi. Stars.”
