8' CHANCE! Perisic's shot wide out
16' NO PENALTY! Immobile tackled down in penalty area
Immobile stays onside before running towards the Inter goal and he looks destined to score. However, Miranda makes a determined run to deny him and he wins a goal kick after his tackle deflects off the Lazio striker.
28'GOAL! Lazio 0-1 Inter (Icardi)
Icardi comes alive in the box to fire his team into the lead. The striker peels away from two defenders and he cannot miss as he taps in from close range. Vecino had tried to play him in but his pass was deflected and Icardi still found the bottom corner.
41'GOAL! Lazio 0-2 Inter (Brozovic)
Spalletti's men take the corner short and Brozovic collects possession on the edge of the box before drilling a shot towards goal. The slippery surface makes it harder for Strakosha and he cannot get a hand to the shot as it sails into the far corner.
47' SAVE! Fine stop from Handanovic
70'GOAL! Lazio 0-3 Inter (Icardi)
Icardi grabs his second of the match and puts this game to bed with a delightful finish inside the box. The striker latched onto a throughball, turned inside one defender before firing past Strakosha. Brilliant play from the Argentina international!
Match Report
Mauro Icardi continued his hot streak with a double as Inter cruised to a 3-0 win at a sodden Stadio Olimpico against Lazio in Serie A on Monday.
A sixth straight league win for the Nerazzurri was set up by Icardi's opener, the striker showing his poacher's instinct again after his late header in last weekend's derby victory over AC Milan.
Lazio were also in good form having won three games in a row in all competitions, but when Marcelo Brozovic drilled in a fine second their hopes of a fightback were extinguished in the heavy Rome rain.
Captain Icardi struck again after the break and another victory moves Inter up to second in the table, albeit six points behind leaders Juventus, while Lazio are fourth.
