April 23, (THEWILL) – Inter Milan put an end to their five-game winless run in Serie A, with a commanding 3-0 victory against Empoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Sunday.
The win saw them temporarily climb up to fifth place in the league, just two points behind Roma, who have a match in hand. The struggling Empoli side, with just one win in their last 12 league games, were unable to mount any sort of response against Inter Milan.
After securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in midweek, Inter’s poor domestic form had seen them drop to sixth, but a brace from Romelu Lukaku and an assist from the Belgian striker for Lautaro Martinez’s goal sealed the win for Simone Inzaghi’s heavily rotated side.
Inter will now host Juventus in their Coppa Italia semi-final second leg, while Empoli will be away to Sassuolo in a week’s time.
