Austria Veteran Deemed MOTM In Inter Milan 2-0 Lazio After Wondergoal | OneFootball

Marko Arnautovic grabbed the limelight as a headline performer in last night’s Coppa Italia match between Inter Milan and Lazio.

According to TMW, the 35-year-old deserved the ‘Man of the Match’ tag for his brilliant display.

Simone Inzaghi had to deploy the former Bologna striker from the start after leaving Marcus Thuram out of the squad.

Indeed, the Frenchman had to stay on the stand due to a niggling ankle problem.

On the other hand, Arnautovic embraced the opportunity.

He struck the ball with precision and power, leaving Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas with no chance.

Furthermore, he sacrificed for the team and fought tooth and nail for every possession.

As a result, Inzaghi can look forward to Saturday’s must-win game against Napoli in Serie A.

Indeed, Arnautovic proved he’s capable of replacing Thuram amid the French star’s questionable fitness condition.
