'THIS TEAM NEEDS LUKAKU'
Martinez has been speaking to Sky Sport Italia after the game, and here's what he had to say about the revival of LuLa:
"It seems like yesterday that he (Lukaku) left, I'm happy that he's back to fight with us. When he arrived we said that we have to fight with everyone, and we've started to do that.
"He's happy and he's giving everything, like all his team-mates. We've spoken a lot since he left, I'm happy that he's back to continue to grow, this team needs him a lot, he will help us.
"I don't know if we're even stronger than before, but we will always try to improve and look ahead".

FULL TIME: INTER 3-0 SPEZIA
A very comfortable evening for Inter, who run out handsome winners thanks to goals from Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu and substitute Joaquin Correa.
It could've been an even more comfortable victory in truth, as Dragowski made several good saves and Lukaku hit the bar.
Six points from six for Simone Inzaghi's side - the coach will be happy with that performance.

ENTER KOVALENKO
Kovalenko is on for Bastoni as Gotti makes another change. Can Spezia prompt some nerves with a late goal?

MORE INTER CHANGES
Gagliardini and Correa are on for Inter, with both of of their goalscorers, Calhanoglu and Martinez, coming off.
71'
CHANCE FOR SPEZIA
It's a good one, too. The ball falls to Strelec, who has just come on, six yards out from a corner.
But he can't get his foot around the ball on the turn and fires wide - that was a let-off for Inter.

LUKAKU REPLACED
Lukaku's evening is up - he is off for Edin Dzeko. Gosens is also on for Dimarco on the left wing.
Spezia have made two changes as well: Hristov and Strelec are on for Caldara and Sala.
66'
CALHA BLOCKED
Calhanoglu lines up another effort at the edge of the box, but a Spezia defender rushes out to block. Just as well...

THE DANGER DUO

INTER ON TOP
Inter look like a team that is happy to play out the rest of this game now. Spezia have been completely outplayed tonight - they are yet to register a shot as the hour mark approaches.

GOAL CALHANOGLU! INTER 2-0 SPEZIA
It has been coming. Inter get their second, and in all likelihood wrap up the victory, with a well-worked team goal.
Lukaku dribbles into the box and lays off a pass to Skriniar. The defender's attempted return ball is intercepted, but only as far as Calhanoglu, who guides a low finish home.
48'
DE VRIJ OFF TARGET
There has certainly been no shortage of corners today, as Inter win their ninth of the match early in the second half.
Again it doesn't come to much, as De Vrij heads over.
