Romelu Lukaku was once again Inter Milan’s hero after scoring a header in the last minute of extra-time.

Inter Milan faced Fiorentina at Stadio Artemio Franchi this Wednesday afternoon for the Italian Cup’s Round of 16. The teams were tied with one goal each at the end of the 90 minutes. Therefore, they were forced to move on to extra-time.

It wasn’t an easy game for Inter, who struggled to get the win against La Viola. Nevertheless, Conte will be pleased with the changes made. In fact, all players involved in the match-winner came on in the second half.

Moreover, Romelu Lukaku came on for the Nerazzuri at the 69th minute and what came afterward was no surprise. At the end of extra-time, Barella received the ball on the right-wing and delivered a perfect cross headed to Fiorentina’s penalty box. Naturally, the Belgian striker wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass by. Lukaku quickly hit the net with a strong header after being left unmarked by his opponent’s defense.
