A feat never seen before in Serie A!

Thanks to his incredible quadruple scored against Salternitana on Saturday evening, Lautaro Martinez made Serie A history.

And four which makes nine! Lautaro Martinez produced an XXL performance by scoring a quadruple on the pitch at Salternitana (0-4) on Saturday evening. Enough to allow him to already total 9 goals in the league, and in the process offer Inter Milan a big victory (0-4) as well as the lead in Serie A. A feat all the more impressive as the Argentine striker did not start this match!

While the Lombard coach, Simone Inzaghi, had preferred Marcus Thuram and Alexis Sanchez on the nerazzurro offensive front at kick-off, the 2022 world champion was quick to prove effective after replacing the Chilean at the start second half (55e). Seven minutes were enough for him to shake the opposing nets (62e), on an assist from the French international.

Only Kane and Haaland do better

Lautaro Martinez then never stopped scoring, with three additional goals including one from the penalty spot (77e85e sp, 89e). Quite simply never seen before! In the history of Serie A, never has a player actually scored a quadruple by being a substitute at the start of a match. In 2023, only two players have been more decisive than him in accumulating goals and assists: Harry Kane and Erling Haaland.
