Inter, however, came into the match in blazing form and suddenly burst into goals left and right with the first attack misfiring.
Simone Inzaghi’s side have won five on the bounce, scoring 14 times in that run. 10 of those goals have been scored by forwards, notably Romelu Lukaku who suddenly found some form towards the end of a largely disappointing return on loan from Chelsea.
Lukaku has scored five times since the start of April and set up four more in all competitions, and his well-placed goal in a 2-0 win at Roma on Saturday was the latest of his best performances from the Belgian striker. There was a signal.
