MILAN:
Inter Milan
moved seven points clear at the top of
Serie A
on Sunday as
Romelu Lukaku
scored after 32 seconds and bagged an assist in a 3-0 win over midtable Genoa.
The Belgian striker drove through the heart of the visiting defence and fired in his 18th league goal of the season to register his club’s second fastest Serie A strike since Opta started taking records in 2004.
Lukaku teed up Matteo Darmian for Inter’s second after 69 minutes and was again involved for their third, when his shot was saved but headed in on the rebound by substitute
Alexis Sanchez
.
The result leaves league leaders
Inter
seven points ahead of second-placed
AC Milan
, who play AS Roma later on Sunday, and 10 points clear of
Juventus
in third.
Genoa, whose seven-match unbeaten league run came to an end, are 13th with 26 points. (Reporting by Alasdair Mackenzie Editing by Christian Radnedge)
