European football: Inter bounce back with Martínez doubling up in win

Lautaro Martínez scored either side of half-time, helping Inter to a 3-2 win at Udinese in Serie A, as the defending champions bounced back from a three-game winless run in all competitions.

Davide Frattesi put Inter in front after 43 seconds from an excellent low cross by Matteo Darmian before the Udinese defender Christian Kabasele levelled in the 35th minute with a header.

Martínez, however, restored the lead for the visitors as he bundled the ball over the line in first-half stoppage time and made it 3-1 just after the break. Lorenzo Lucca pulled one back for Udinese in the 83rd minute.

Inter are third in the standings on 11 points, level with second-placed Milan and the leaders, Torino, who have a game in hand and host Lazio on Sunday.

Later on Saturday, Juventus visit Genoa and Bologna host Atalanta. In Germany the usual afternoon programme is followed by the leaders, Bayern Munich, at home to the champions, Bayer Leverkusen.
