Romelu Lukaku had one of his finest performances of the season as he nestled a brilliant brace to help his team en route to victory.

The Belgian put the Nerazzuri ahead right before half time.

Inter kept the momentum as an own goal from Ruan doubled their lead 10 minutes into the second half. Just 3 minutes later Lisandro Martinez made it 3-0 as he picked up a deflected shot.

The visitors pulled two goals back and had vague hopes of a comeback, but Lukaku showed his true class as he restored the 2-goals cushion in the 89th minute.

Inter currently sit 3rd in the table after their seventh consecutive win across all competitions. They are 5 points clear of Milan in 5th, who succumbed to a shocking 2-0 defeat to Spezia earlier today.
