Joaquin Correa made an immediate impact on his Inter Milan debut by scoring twice as the Serie A champions came from behind to win 3-1 at Hellas Verona on Friday.
Correa completed his move to Inter from Lazio on Thursday and came off the bench to snatch the points for Simone Inzaghi's side, who have began their title defence with two wins from as many games.
The Argentina forward struck Inter's crucial second seven minutes from the end, leaping high to power home Matteo Darmian's cross and complete a second-half comeback after Lautaro Martinez had levelled shortly after the break with a header of his own.
He added the cherry to the cake in stoppage time when he gathered the ball and fired home the third with a precision finish. Defeat was harsh for Verona who had deservedly taken the lead through Ivan Ilic in the 15th minute and gave Inter a battle throughout the match, but they are pointless after their two opening fixtures. Inzaghi, who replaced title-winning coach Antonio Conte this summer, has his new team singing from his hymn sheet with the players signed to replace departed stars Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi all slotting straight into place.
After Edin Dzeko and Hakan Calhanoglu shone last week against Genoa, it was Correa's turn to snatch the headlines with his match-winning brace.
In Friday's early match Udinese carried on their encouraging start with a comfortable 3-0 win over Venezia which follows up on their opening weekend draw with Juventus.
Goals from Ignacio Pussetto, Gerard Deulofeu and Nahuel Molina gave Udinese, from the far north-east some 100 kilometres from Venice, a deserved three points after a dominant display against their promoted rivals.
