Fiorentina 3-4 Inter: Lautaro Martinez bags new record in dramatic Serie A win

Lautaro Martinez guided Inter to an incredible and last-ditch 4-3 win over Fiorentina in Serie A.

In a game that was full of refereeing talking points, great goals and late drama, Martinez set up Nicolo Barella in the second minute to hand Inter a lead. He got on the scoresheet himself some minutes later to double the advantage. Arthur Cabral pulled one back from the spot and Fiorentina made it 2-2 through Jonathan Ikone. Martinez handed the lead to Inter once again later, only to see Luka Jovic equalise in the 90th minute.

But in the 95th minute, a deflected clearance met Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who grabbed a last-ditch winner for the Nerazzurri to bring them into the conversation for a top four finish once again.

1+1 – Lautaro Martínez has become the first Inter striker to have both scored and delivered an assist in the opening 15 minutes of play in a Serie A match since Diego Milito, on January 19th, 2011, against Cesena. Albiceleste.#SerieA #FiorentinaInter pic.twitter.com/7s2sXV0Wly
