Martinez nets brace to help Inter get Serie A title pursuit back on track with rout of Roma

MILAN (AP) — Lautaro Martinez scored twice in his first action since February and Inter Milan routed visiting Roma 5-2 on Sunday to end a four-match winless streak across all competitions.

Lautaro scored in the second and 52nd minutes at the San Siro. Hakan Calhanoglu, Marcus Thuram and Nicolò Barella also found the net for Inter.

Gianluca Mancini scored a momentary equalizer for Roma before Lorenzo Pellegrini pulled one back for the Giallorossi after they had gone four goals behind.

Inter moved nine points ahead of city rival AC Milan and 10 ahead of defending champion Napoli, which hosts Milan on Monday.
