Goals : Lautaro Martínez (55e), Dumfries (79e), Thuram (89e) pour l’Inter // Esposito (86e) for Empoli
Inter remains in the game.
At San Siro after their draw against Bologna, Inter got their heads back together to dominate Empoli (3-1) and thus stay in the lead of Napoli.
Everything happened in the second half and it was Lautaro Martínez who offered the first deliverance: served by Nicolo Barella at the edge of the area, the Argentinian sent a missile hit by Devis Vásquez in vain (1-0, 55e). From a corner, it was the man in form of the moment on the Nerazzurri side, Denzel Dumfries, who rose into the sky of Milan to double the lead (2-0, 79e). Despite the reduction in the score of a former member of the house, Sebastiano Esposito (2-1, 86e)Inter has no doubts and will regain two pawns in advance on the counter: Marko Arnautovic serves Marcus Thuram who closes his foot in front of Vásquez and seals the Inter victory (3-1, 89e).
-In the standings, Inter remains three lengths behind Napoli with a game in hand and is (already) four units ahead of Atalanta. Definitely, it’s a two-person duel for the Scudetto.
