Lautaro stunner lifts Inter, strengthens Serie A lead | OneFootball

El Toro was once again decisive and, with a true work of art, gave his team the victory on matchday 21 of Serie A, keeping them firmly at the top of the championship.

Toro Martínez just doesn't stop. At 20 minutes into the first half, the Inter captain controlled the ball inside the box, used his body to shield off the defender, and, true to his nickname, unleashed a three-fingered shot that was impossible for the goalkeeper to stop. A stunning goal and an advantage for a team that knows how to suffer and strike at just the right moment.

With that goal, Lautaro established himself as the top scorer in Serie A with 11 goals and reached 15 for the season in 27 matches played. In addition, the striker from Bahía wrote another historic page by moving up to fifth place among the top Argentine scorers in Italy, with 126 goals, surpassing Gonzalo Higuaín. The leader of that ranking remains Gabriel Batistuta, with 184.

The Argentine's goal was enough for Inter to control the match without too many scares and secure three key points in their fight for the title. With this victory, the Nerazzurri remain at the top of the table and have pulled six points clear of their closest pursuer, Milan (43), who will host Lecce on Sunday.

The next fixture for Inter will be this Tuesday, when they host Arsenal for the seventh matchday of the regular phase of the Champions League. The Italians have 12 points and will face an English side with a perfect record, in a clash that promises to be a real thriller starting at 17:00 (local time).
