Arnautovic works magic: First goal of the season secures Inter's victory!
On Monday evening, Austrian footballer Marko Arnautovic had a glorious evening when his first goal of the season contributed decisively to Inter Milan's 2-1 victory over Fiorentina. The 35-year-old ÖFB record team player came into the game in the 28th minute after his teammate Marcus Thuram had to be substituted injured. How oe24 reported, the game was tense when Inter took the lead through an own goal from former Salzburg player Marin Pongracic in the 28th minute. But the joy didn't last long, because shortly before half-time Rolando Mandragora equalized with a penalty to make it 1-1.
Arnautovic scores and consolidates second place
At the beginning of the second half, Arnautovic's moment arrived. In the 52nd minute he took advantage of a precise cross from Carlos Augusto and headed in for a 2-1 lead, which turned out to be a decisive goal in a game with few chances Laola1 held on. After his header, the score remained unchanged, meaning Inter Milan maintained their place in the table and remained in second place, just one point behind league leaders SSC Napoli. Fiorentina, on the other hand, remains in sixth place in Serie A.
Arnautovic, who has only made nine league appearances this season and has already scored once in the Champions League and the Cup, once again showed his potential and thus attracted positive attention. His performance not only strengthens Inter, but also underlines his role in the team at a critical stage of the championship.
