Figo breaks drought

10:32 am on 8 February 2009

The former Portugal football captain Luis Figo scored his first goal in more than a season to help the Italian Serie A leaders Inter Milan secure a 3-0 win at struggling Lecce on Sunday [NZ time].

Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic slammed in the opener on 12 minutes before midfielders Figo and Dejan Stankovic headed home in the second half.

Figo, used sparingly this year, had not scored a league goal since September 2007.
