This is the big day for Inter keeping the gap in the leadership.   Inter win  the Serie A Week 24 game crushing Genoa on Sunday 28 February 2021 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy.   Inter having a +4 points above AC Milan with 52 points.  Genoa ending their  seven-match unbeaten league run remaining with 26 points.

Inter showing their determination to keep the leadership with a flash goal!  Not even the 1st minute and forward Romelu Lukaku smashing the net defeating Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin with a right footed shot to the bottom left corner.  The assist is by Lautaro Martínez. This is Lukaku’s 18th goal this season.

The second goal arriving in the 69th minute. It is Matteo Darmian to deliver a right footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Romelu Lukaku.

Genoa unable to react and concede a third goal.  In the 78th minute, Alexis Sánchez scores from very close range with a headed shot to the bottom left corner.

  • Stats before the game.  Inter have won the last five Serie A games against Genoa without conceding a goal:   Inter have never achieved six consecutive wins against a single opponent in the competition without conceding a goal in the partial (five times even against Atalanta in 1953 ).   Inter have won their last seven Serie A home games against Genoa: the Nerazzurri have achieved eight straight home wins against Genoa in the competition between May 1956 and February 1965 alone.  Inter have won their last eight Serie A home games: in the last 10 seasons, only Juventus (four times) and Roma (in 2016/17) have managed to record at least nine home wins in a row in a single league.  Since Davide Ballardini arrived, Genoa have lost only one Serie A match (5W, 4N), just like Inter (7W, 2N): no team has been defeated fewer times in the period.  Inter have scored 57 goals in this league: after 23 games in a single Serie A season they did better only in 1949/50 (65) and 1950/51 (60).   Lautaro Martínez has taken part in 17 goals in this league (13 goals, four assists), equaling last season’s Serie A appearances – Genoa are one of eight teams against which the Inter forward has not yet scored in Serie.
