Lazio 0-3 Inter Milan – Lautaro Martinez MVP As Nerazzurri Cruise In Rome

Inter Milan continued their Serie A victory lap in ruthless fashion, beating Lazio 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to goals from Lautaro Martinez, Petar Sucic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan — with the Argentine captain named Man of the Match after a goal-and-assist display.

The post-match statistics from Lazio vs Inter Milan, Serie A Match Day 36 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, have confirmed a commanding Nerazzurri win.

Inter ran out 3-0 winners, with Lautaro Martinez opening the scoring after just six minutes. Petar Sucic doubled the advantage before half-time, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan added the third in the 76th minute.

The result takes Cristian Chivu’s newly-crowned champions to 85 points after 36 matches, while Lazio remain on 51 points.

Lazio Vs Inter Milan – Lautaro Martinez Sets The Tone Early

Inter wasted no time asserting themselves. Just six minutes had passed when Marcus Thuram teed up Lautaro Martinez, and the Nerazzurri captain made no mistake to give Inter a dream start in the capital.
Lautaro was not done there. In the 39th minute, he turned provider, assisting Petar Sucic for Inter’s second of the evening. That goal effectively killed the match as a contest before half-time, with Lazio struggling to cope with Inter’s movement between the lines and their superiority in the final third.

Chivu made changes at the break, withdrawing Thuram and Nicolo Barella for Ange-Yoan Bonny and Davide Frattesi, but Inter’s rhythm hardly suffered.

Lazio Vs Inter Milan – Mkhitaryan Adds The Third After Romagnoli Red

Lazio’s hopes of a comeback took a major blow shortly before the hour mark.
Alessio Romagnoli was sent off in the 59th minute, leaving Maurizio Sarri’s side with ten men and a mountain to climb.
Inter controlled the tempo from there, and in the 76th minute Henrikh Mkhitaryan made it 3-0 after an assist from substitute Ange-Yoan Bonny.

The Armenian midfielder capped a strong individual performance, while Bonny made a sharp impact off the bench. Lazio, meanwhile, were unable to convert their moments of pressure into anything meaningful despite forcing Josep Martinez into four saves.

MVP – Lautaro Martinez

MVP: Lautaro Martinez – 8.8/10

Lautaro Martinez was the standout performer and FotMob’s official Player of the Match.

The Inter captain scored the opener, assisted Sucic’s goal, and constantly unsettled Lazio’s defensive line before being withdrawn in the second half. His movement, efficiency and leadership made the difference in a match Inter controlled from the first whistle.

This was exactly the type of performance Chivu would have wanted from his captain ahead of the upcoming Coppa Italia final.

Lazio Vs Inter Milan – What The Numbers Say

Inter’s win was not built on overwhelming shot volume alone, but on superior control and execution.

The Nerazzurri had 58% possession, produced 14 shots, and registered 31 touches in the Lazio box compared to the home side’s 14. The xG total — 1.13 to 0.55 — tells the story of a match where Inter created the better opportunities and punished Lazio at key moments.

Lazio did manage five shots on target, the same number as Inter, but Josep Martinez was excellent when called upon, earning an impressive 8.2 rating and preserving the clean sheet.

At the other end, Inter were clinical. Three goals from five shots on target, three different scorers, and another statement performance from a side already crowned champions.

Final Verdict

This was a professional, controlled, and clinical Inter Milan performance.
Lazio competed in spells, particularly through Tijjani Noslin and Nicolo Rovella, but Romagnoli’s red card and Inter’s superior quality in both boxes proved decisive.
For Chivu, the evening brought plenty of positives: Lautaro looked sharp, Sucic impressed, Mkhitaryan scored, Josep Martinez kept a clean sheet, and Bonny contributed an assist off the bench.

With the Coppa Italia final against Lazio now looming, Inter could hardly have asked for a better dress rehearsal.
