Milan, Italy: Lautaro Martinez struck his first goals of the season for Inter Milan with a brace in Saturday's 3-2 win at Udinese which moved the champions level with Torino and local rivals AC Milan at the top of Serie A.
Davide Frattesi's deft finish after just 43 seconds was followed by Argentina forward Martinez's strikes moments before and after half-time.
The win in Udine saw Inter bounce back from Milan derby defeat last weekend and move up to 11 points after six matches.
Torino, who host Lazio on Sunday, currently hold top spot by virtue of second-placed Milan and Inter having played a game more.
Martinez's brace will be great news for coach Simone Inzaghi whose team host Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
