Inter 3-2 Sampdoria: Mauro Icardi Scores Twice in Thriller as Nerazzurri Go Top of Serie A

Mauro Icardi scored a brace as Inter Milan edged Sampdoria in a five-goal thriller to go top of Serie A.

The Argentina international is now ahead of Juventus' Paulo Dybala and behind only Lazio's Ciro Immobile in the league's goalscoring charts, having bagged two after Milan Skriniar opened the scoring.

Dawid Kownacki and Fabio Quagliarella brought Sampdoria back into the game but the visitors' rally came to late to secure a point.

Sampdoria pair Quagliarella and Duvan Zapata had shots early on but Antonio Candreva came closest to breaking the deadlock in the opening exchanges, smashing just wide of Christian Puggioni's right-hand post.
