The young midfielder fired his team ahead with a sublime free kick but still ended up on the losing side
Udinese recovered from an early conceded goal to claim a fine 3-1 win over Inter to climb to the summit of the Serie A standings.
Nicolo Barella is considered one of the best midfielders in Italy right now - and could rise to the heights of his senior compatriots Andrea Pirlo, Francesco Totti or Jorginho. On Sunday afternoon - he showed why.

Barella fired his team ahead five minutes into their Serie A clash at Udinese. Just take a look at that beauty!
The moment of brilliance from the young midfielder was pretty much where the match ended for Inter, though. Simone Inzaghi's team proceeded to snooze in the Italian sunshine and let the match slip by them.
An unfortunate Milan Skriniar own goal and a late double blow from a Jaka Bijol and a Tolgay Arslan headers gave the Udine club the win. The result lifted the black and whites to the top of the Serie A standings - even if four teams could overtake them later on Sunday.
Inter, meanwhile, continue the unimpressive season that's already making them forget about a title challenge.
