Inter came from two goals down to beat Napoli in a dramatic Serie A contest, with Lautaro Martinez scoring twice to complete a hard-fought victory for the Milan side.
The hosts and Napoli played out a goalless first half, with neither team able to break the deadlock before the interval. However, the match changed rapidly after the restart as the visitors took control of the scoreline.
Napoli opened the scoring in the 50th minute through Matteo Politano, who finished with a precise strike to give his side the advantage.
Just three minutes later, Napoli doubled their lead. Rasmus Højlund found the net after being set up by Giovanni Di Lorenzo, putting the visitors 2-0 ahead and leaving Inter with a significant challenge to overcome.
Inter responded almost immediately. In the 56th minute, Lautaro Martinez reduced the deficit with an accurate finish, giving the home side renewed hope of salvaging a result.
The Milan team continued to press for a way back into the match and eventually turned the contest in their favour before the final whistle. Marcus Thuram scored Inter’s second goal, bringing the teams level, before Lautaro Martinez completed his double to put the hosts ahead.
Inter held on to secure victory after trailing by two goals early in the second half. The result means the Milan club have taken nine points from their opening three matches of the Serie A campaign.
Napoli, by contrast, remain on three points after suffering defeat despite establishing a two-goal advantage.
The match was scoreless for the entire first half, but all five goals came after the break. Politano and Højlund gave Napoli a commanding lead, while Inter’s comeback was completed by goals from Martinez and Thuram, with Martinez providing the decisive finish.
Inter’s win preserves their perfect start after three rounds, while Napoli will be left to reflect on a match in which their early second-half dominance ultimately yielded no points.
