Icardi 'relaxed' despite slow start to Seire A campaign with Inter

Mauro Icardi insisted he was never worried about his wait for a first Serie A goal of the season after leading Inter to a 2-1 win over Fiorentina on Tuesday.

Icardi scored his first league goal of the season with a first-half penalty at San Siro before setting up Danilo D'Ambrosio for the winner after a Milan Skriniar own goal had drawn the visitors level.

The 25-year-old has been prolific in recent campaigns – netting 53 goals across the past two league seasons – but had to wait for his fifth Serie A appearance of 2018-19 to get off the mark.
