The Argentina international took his tally up to 13 in 29 Serie A games, 18 in all competition for this season.

However, he hadn’t found the net in any of his last six competitive games.

“I really wanted this goal, as I hadn’t scored in a while,” confessed Martinez to Inter TV.

“We are happy for the victory. This goal is particularly important to me and I’m so glad the team got to show what it can do. We had dropped so many points lately, despite putting in good performances.

“This was a great game against a very difficult opponent.”

Torino had taken the lead at San Siro on Monday night through Andrea Belotti, but Ashley Young, Diego Godin and Lautaro Martinez turned it around in the second half.

The result puts them in second place, on 68 points along with Lazio.
