Jovetic: Partnership with Icardi could be great

Stevan Jovetic said his developing partnership with fellow Inter attacker Mauro Icardi has the potential to be "great" after both players scored in a 4-0 thrashing of Udinese.

Icardi put Roberto Mancini's men into the lead midway through the first half and Jovetic hit his sixth career strike against Udinese to double the lead.

"We played really well today and this is a tough place to come to," Jovetic said after scoring his first goal since August.

"Of course I'm delighted to get back among the goals - it's important for a striker. I'm pleased to score and even more pleased we won."

"I've always said we could form a great partnership," Jovetic added. 

"We get on well and as we play more together we'll just get better."

He said: "Obviously there are another four or five teams in the mix, but we want to be right up there."
