Inter Milan came from a goal down to win 3-1 at home against Lazio in Serie Aon Sunday, despite the strong effort by Sarri’s squad to get the most from Serie A six-pointer. A second-half double by Lautaro Martinez and a goal by Robin Gosens cancelled out Felipe Anderson's first-half strike, leaving second-placed Lazio on 61 points in the standings. Pedro Rodriguez played the final half-an-hour of the game replacing Capitano Immobile.
Inter tried to get advantage from early kick-off at the San Siro and thought they took the lead in the 25th minute through Henrikh Mkhitaryan's first-touch strike but Joaquin Correa was offside when setting him up and the goal was ruled out.
But it was Lazio who mad the forst blood from a lost ball in the 30th minute after a Francesco Acerbi error, which Lazio midfielder Anderson used to drill low into the corner, having exchanged passes with Luis Alberto.
Both sides had opportunities to score in the second half but goalkeepers Andre Onana and Ivan Provedel performed well to save the few shots on target that came their way. However, Inter forward Lautaro slid in between the Lazio defence to equalise in the 77th minute from a Romelu Lukaku cross.
The Belgium forward teed up Gosens for Inter's second from a close range six minutes later and Lautaro added another goal seconds from time in an individual effort.
