Inter star Icardi exceeds 100 Serie A goals with four against Sampdoria

Inter striker Mauro Icardi passed the 100 goal mark in Serie A on Saturday when he scored four goals against his former club Sampdoria on Sunday.

The Argentina international reached a century in his 180th Serie A match when he confidently rolled home from the penalty spot on the half-hour at Stadio Luigi Ferraris to put Inter 2-0 up after Ivan Perisic's opener.

He then made it 3-0 soon after, beating Sampdoria goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano with an audacious backheel from close range. A third followed shortly before half time when Viviano saved an effort from Rafinha but merely knocked it into Icardi's path for the 25-year-old to send it home.
