Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian forward for Inter Milan, celebrated with his Argentine teammate Lautaro Martínez after scoring in the Serie A match against US Lecce.
Lukaku later netted a last‑gasp equaliser in Inter’s dramatic 1‑1 draw with Juventus on Tuesday, leaving the Italian Cup semi‑final level after the first leg. The Belgium striker rolled in from the penalty spot to keep both sides tied ahead of the second leg in Milan later this month, but was subsequently sent off for his celebrations in front of the home crowd.
Juan Cuadrado believed he had given Juventus the lead in the 83rd minute of the intense Turin clash between the bitter rivals, a game that featured few clear‑cut chances and saw both teams constantly at each other’s throats. After the final whistle, Cuadrado and Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanović were both dismissed following a scuffle that continued as the teams headed into the tunnel at the Allianz Stadium.
On Wednesday, struggling Cremonese will host in‑form Fiorentina as they aim for a shock cup‑final berth.
