Lukaku stats: Belgian attacker propels Inter to Serie A win

Romelu Lukaku has been going through a purple patch of form and has established himself as a pivotal figure for the Nerazzurri outfit this season. Lukaku goals back the claim as the Belgian attacker has 21 goals against his name in the Serie A this season. He added four more goals to his tally during Inter Milan's Champions League journey while finding the back of the net twice in the Coppa Italia too.

Inter Milan Serie A record

Antonio Conte’s men won their 19th Scudetto last week and were crowned Serie A champions after Atalanta’s 1-1 draw against Sassuolo on Sunday which left Milan with a 13-point lead at the top with four games left. The Milan outfit ended Juventus’ nine-year winning streak and managed to lift their first league title since their iconic treble of winning the Champions League, Serie A, and Coppa Italia under Jose Mourinho.

The Nerazzurri also ended their 11-year-long drought without a domestic title win as the Serie A win led to fans flocking the streets and gathering near the city's historic centre Piazza Duomo where they were seen chanting, singing, waving flags and celebrating their 19th “Scudetto” title on Sunday.
