Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez emerged as the architect of a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Genoa last night.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, El Toro led by example at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Cristian Chivu’s side took the field seeking redemption for a heartbreaking Champions League loss to Liverpool.

Furthermore, the Nerazzurri aimed to post their third consecutive Serie A win after beating Pisa and Como.

Lautaro Martinez, who struggled against the Reds on Tuesday, returned to his usual best at the Marassi.

Genoa’s revival under new manager Daniele De Rossi promised a stern test for the 20-time Italian champions.

However, Lautaro took matters into his own hands, laying the groundwork for Inter’s 13th successive unbeaten league clash against the Griffins.

Indeed, he set up Yann Bisseck for the opening goal after narrowly avoiding an offside trap.

Then, the 28-year-old striker scored a superb goal with his weaker left foot to steer his side two goals up at halftime. 

Overall, it was one of his most impressive performances this season.
