Watch: Inter's Icardi fires dramatic curler to beat Torino

Mauro Icardi did his best to put himself back in the good graces of Inter supporters Wednesday with a pair of goals in a 2-1 win over Torino.

The Argentine - a target of derision from the home fans following the release of his controversial autobiography - hadn't scored a goal in 543 minutes of action prior to the contest.

His 88th-minute strike decided a match that Inter deserved to win with a fantastic curling effort that eluded the grasp of Torino's Joe Hart.

Icardi jumped on a previous Hart gaffe to give the Nerazzurri a first-half lead.

Andrea Belotti had leveled matters before Inter's under-fire captain came to the rescue.

The victory relieves pressure on Frank de Boer after a string of underwhelming results, moving the San Siro outfit into 10th place in Serie A.
