Lukaku's sitters and Onana's horrible late call leave inspired Inter with only a point

Belgian had missed several clear-cut chances before the Cameroonian keeper made a mistake that prevented Nerazzurri from winning against Salernitana (1-1)

His class is indisputable. His determination is second to none. His commitment to the team is worth applause.

But what Romelu Lukaku seems to be desperately missing is his essential virtue - the Belgium striker needs at least half a dozen clear-cut chances to score a goal. Sometimes not even that is enough.

And that was the case today, as Big Rom missed several up-and-coming chances against Salernitana in Inter Milan's disappointing 1-1 draw. Nerazzurri should have been in front by much more than just that one early Gosens goal following Lukaku's assist, but the former Chelsea forward had another horrible day at the office, missing a handful of sitters.

That sort of Big Rom's shortcomings haunted the visitors, as the die-hard hosts kept fighting until they finally secured their fifth Serie A draw in a row. And in what fashion... Former Inter player Candreva launched an unsuccessful cross from the right seconds before the stoppage time. Instead of finding his strikers, the ball went straight to Andre Onana's goal.

However, the experienced Cameroonian keeper made a terrible call between the sticks, guessing that the ball would go over the bar, but - it ended in the back of his net. Shocking and a bit undeserved 1-1 after the favourites failed to kill the game on time and grab their first league win in the last five games.
