Serie A: Inter Milan Crushes Newly Promoted, Benevento 5-2

Serie A title rivals, Inter Milan crushed promoted Benevento 5-2 on Wednesday as Romelu Lukaku and Hakimi Achraf were on target for the San Siro outfit.

AllNews reports that Inter Milan finished just 1 point behind eventual Italian Champions Juventus last season and they have started a new season with a fine form with 6 out of the 6 points available on matchday 2 of the Serie A fixture

Romelu Lukaku scored twice, the first within 30 seconds, and Achraf Hakimi impressed on his debut start.

Inter new right-back Hakimi, who has spent the past two seasons on loan from Real Madrid at Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, unlocked the match with his acceleration down the right finding Lukaku to blast in the opener.

The Morocco international then set up Roberto Gagliardini to volley in after 25 minutes and Lukaku for Belgian's second just before the half-hour.

Hakimi got on the scoresheet himself three minutes before the break, catching the Benevento defense napping with Argentine Lautaro Martinez making in five with 20 minutes to play.

"I enjoy watching the team play like they did tonight, with incisive attacking moves," said Conte.

"The outright biggest source of satisfaction for a coach is to see that, no matter who’s playing, the idea of the game doesn’t change.

"It's a style of play that we’ve been pursuing since last year.

"We've got more options and we're a team that likes to play, that attacks and that creates lots and lots of chances.

"We've got to work more on our balance because today we also conceded two goals. But it seems that the new arrivals have slotted in rapidly to a tried-and-tested system from last season."

Inter new signing, Arthur Vidal and Christian Eriksen also came close to scoring for last season's runners-up, the Dane rattling the crossbar late.

Gianluca Caprari scored for Benevento after 34 and 76 minutes.

"I'm very happy with how I have adapted to the team even if I still have to learn certain mechanisms," said Hakimi.

"Some moves are similar to those I did in Dortmund, I have the skills to play in this team.

"The teammates helped me a lot, and I'm learning quickly.

"The Scudetto? We are working towards this, we have a great team to fight for this goal."
