Lecce 0-2 Inter Milan – Armenian Veteran Breaks Long Serie A Away Drought To Open The Scoring | OneFootball

Inter Milan veteran Henrikh Mkhitaryan broke the deadlock in Saturday’s 2-0 Serie A win over Lecce.

According to FCInterNews, it was the 37-year-old’s first away league goal since October 2022.

The Nerazzurri had to wait until the 75th minute to break down Eusebio Di Francesco’s stubborn defense.

Furthermore, they needed second-half substitute Henrikh Mkhitaryan to end his long-standing scoring drought in Serie A away games.

Indeed, the former Roma star last scored on the road almost four years ago.

Mkhitaryan has racked up 35 goals and 35 assists in Serie A since swapping Arsenal for Roma in 2019.

However, the Armenian midfielder has fared much better on home turf, as evidenced by his shockingly long duck on the road.

Still, Mkhitaryan couldn’t have picked a better moment to end it.

Indeed, his late heroics set the tone for Inter’s seventh consecutive Serie A victory.

With AC Milan losing to Parma at home yesterday, the Nerazzurri are now ten points clear at the summit.
