Marko Arnautovic strike gives Inter Milan 1-0 advantage over Atletico Madrid in first leg of Champions League last-16 tie after super-sub comes off the bench to seal crucial win

He needed three attempts but former West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic finally hit the target to give Inter Milan a narrow lead over Atletico Madrid in their Champions League last-16 first leg.

The Austrian came on at the break for the injured Marcus Thuram and headed Inter’s first second half chance wide. Then on the hour he spurned a glorious opening after playing a wall pass with Lautaro Martinez.

Axel Witsel got a touch on the Argentine’s return ball to the Austrian but it still ran to him. Just outside the six-yard box he only had Jan Oblak to beat but he leaned back and fired over.
