Hernanes broke his former team's heart Sunday when his goal in the final minutes lifted Inter Milan to a 2-0 victory over Lazio.

The Brazilian midfielder wreaked havoc against the club he departed last summer and wasn't shy about celebrating, following up his first of two goals with a sweet little back-flip.

That goal came courtesy of a well-placed free-kick following Mauricio's red card, which had Lazio facing a tough opponent with just 10 men.

He secured the win with less than 10 minutes remaining, finishing off a nice solo run with a clever finish that sent Lazio 'keeper Etrit Berisha diving in the wrong direction.

The victory brought Inter to within three points of the final Europa League spot in the Serie A standings with three games remaining.
