Edin Dzeko couldn’t help but laugh on the touchline after Inter Milan teammate Romelu Lukaku clumsily handled the offside ball against Monza on Saturday.

The second-half substitute tried to retain the ball in the corner before kicking it in for a throw-in.
The 29-year-old’s mistake proved costly, however, and all smiles were soon wiped away as Monza launched a last-minute attack and equalized moments later thanks to a Denzel Dumfries own goal.
Had Lukaku kept control of the ball, Inter might well have held on for victory and level on points with arch-rivals Milan in third.
Lukaku, who made no secret of his desire to return to Inter last year, rejoined the Serie A giants on loan from Chelsea after a tough season at Stamford Bridge.
Since then, the Belgian has fought for chances at the San Siro, picking up a hamstring injury in the two months leading up to the World Cup.

The 29-year-old has struggled with injury this season, scoring once in all six of his league games.
His return against Napoli last weekend helped Simone Inzaghi’s side to a vital 1-0 win against the league leaders, although Lukaku is still struggling to display a fruitful scoring record in Italy.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United hitman has managed just one goal in his six league games so far this season and failed to score in both of his Qatar appearances.
