Romelu Lukaku has taken aim at Zlatan Ibrahimovic following Inter Milan’s dramatic derby victory over fierce rivals AC Milan.
The Belgian striker rounded off the scoring in Inter’s 4-2 comeback win over their bitter rivals, which sent them top of Serie A
Ibrahimovic, who returned to Milan in December on a free transfer, had earlier inspired the Rossoneri into a 2-0 half-time lead at San Siro.
Another new arrival, Ante Rebic, had put Milan in front before Ibrahimovic doubled the advantage, and at that point Inter looked set to miss the chance to leapfrog Juventus at the summit.
However, Antonio Conte’s side hit back in the second half, with goals from Marcelo Brozovic, Matias Vecino, Stefan de Vrij and Lukaku completing the fightback.

And after the game, in a post seemingly directed at his former Manchester teammate – whose much-vaunted return last month was mooted as ‘return of the king’ – Lukaku made his point clear.
Taking to social media, the Belgian hitman succinctly declared: “There’s a new king in town”.
Lukaku, since joining the club at the start of the campaign, has scored 17 league goals as they chase a first Scudetto since 2010, and look to bring Juventus’ domination of the Italian championship to an end.
