Belgium striker, Romelu Lukaku, looks unstoppable after rediscovering his goal scoring form since leaving England as he scored twice to ensure Inter stay close behind league leaders, Juventus.

The former Man. Utd. striker gave Antoio Conte's men the lead with a close-range shot in the 64th and doubled his tally with a penalty in the 71st minute.

Lukaku has now scored 16 league goals since moving to Italy last summer and has scored 20 for Inter in all competitions.

Inter remain second in the table, three points behind Juve who beat Fiorentina earlier on Sunday.

Christian Eriksen, Ashley Young and on-loan Chelsea winger Victor Moses made their league debuts for the Nerazzurri.

Manchester United's Alexis Sanchez also came on as a second half sub and was influential as he secured the penalty after being fouled by Musso.

Antonio Conte's side had drawn their three previous league games 1-1 . They are next in action when they host their rivals, AC Milan, in the Milan derby on Sunday, 9 February.
