Hakan Calhanoglu celebrated a very special Serie A career milestone when Inter crushed Lazio 6-0. \u2018The MVP was the team, because we all contributed in a great reaction.\u2019<\/p>\n

It was an epic night at the Stadio Olimpico, which Simone Inzaghi had called a Scudetto showdown going in, because the Nerazzurri absolutely dominated for a 6-0 victory.<\/p>\n

Calhanoglu converted a penalty to open the scoring just before half-time, followed by a Federico Dimarco cushioned volley.<\/p>\n

They ran riot after the break, with Nicol\u00f2 Barella, Denzel Dumfries, Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram completing the rout, six goals from six different players.<\/p>\n

Calhanoglu was named Serie A Man of the Match<\/h2>\n

Inter needed a boost after the surprise midweek Champions League defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, which was only their second loss of the entire campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Leverkusen, where we played badly, it was a good performance tonight, a great reaction from the team. Everyone played their part and did their job against a strong team that was in excellent form,\u201d Calhanoglu told DAZN.<\/p>\n

With the penalty this evening, Calhanoglu marked his 100th<\/sup> goal contribution in Serie A between goals and assists.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, I didn\u2019t know that. I think the MVP was the team, not me, because we all contributed. I told Marcus at half-time that his goal would be coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although there were six different players on target, the drought drags on for Lautaro Martinez.<\/p>\n

\u201cLauti is helping the team so much, including with his defending, it\u2019s not a problem for us. His moment will come, the important thing is that the team wins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thuram struck late on to put himself on 11 Serie A goals for this season, only one shy of current Capocannoniere Mateo Retegui.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important for us to come here and play well against a team in great form that had as many points as us. When Calha says I will score, I tend to score,\u201d noted Thuram.<\/p>\n

He whispered to DAZN pundit Christian Vieri that he \u201clearned to score goals watching your videos.\u201d<\/p>\n

This result will send a message, because Inter are the reigning Serie A title holders and still have a game in hand to be played against Fiorentina, though that probably won\u2019t be rescheduled until February.<\/p>\n

100 \u2013 Thanks to the penalty scored against Lazio tonight, Hakan #\u00c7alhanoglu has now been involved in 100 goals in #SerieA: 48 goals and 52 assists. Milestone.#LazioInter<\/p>\n
