Icardi hits four for Inter

ROME: Captain Mauro Icardi scored four goals to break through the 100-goal mark in Serie A as Inter Milan returned to the top four with a 5-0 rout of Sampdoria on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Argentina international, who had been sidelined for a month with injury, broke the century after scoring his first goals since January. His four-goal haul included three in 14 minutes against his former club. Icardi now has 103 goals in Serie A — 93 with Inter and ten with Sampdoria. After holding title-chasing Napoli to a goalless draw, Luciano Spalletti’s side showed they were back in the race for a Champions League spot. But Lazio could move back into fourth place, the final spot for elite European football next season, when they host Bologna later on Sunday.
