That was the big Serbian's fifth goal in 11 league games this season, ending an eight-game drought without a goal for club and country.

The hosts’ lead wouldn’t last long however, as Inter levelled the scores just six minutes later with a goal of the highest quality thanks to Lautaro Martínez.

The Argentine swept in a sublime angled strike from Marcus Thuram’s cross at the end of a blistering attack from the visitors.
