What happened. Inter trailed 2-0 after Manu Kone's brace for Roma, but Lautaro Martinez scored twice in the second half to earn a 2-2 draw. It was the third straight Serie A game in which Inter had trailed by two goals before recovering.

• Lautaro admitted Inter lacked the right attitude in the first half.
• Both Inter and Roma remain unbeaten and level at the top of Serie A.
• Lautaro has four goals already this season after a summer of physical work.

“The first half needs to be wiped out, because we didn’t have the right attitude.”

— Lautaro Martinez

Inter need to address their slow starts as they continue their Serie A campaign, while Lautaro's form is a bright spot.
