Player of the match: Romelu Lukaku
In one of Inter’s less convincing displays in recent weeks, the Belgian continued to lead the line well and his strength and pace to get in behind caused Roma problems, particularly in the first half. A willing runner, he got his goal late on to break a mini-drought and wrap up the win.
