Champions Inter Milan thump Empoli in Serie A

Inter Milan consolidated their second place in Serie A on Wednesday with a 3-0 away thrashing of 10-man Empoli.

Text size:

Napoli are top of the table, four points clear of Inter after they beat AC Milan 2-0 on Tuesday courtesy of a Romelu Lukaku goal and a sensational strike by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Defending champions Inter overwhelmed Emopli after they were reduced to 10 men on the half hour as Saba Goglichidze walked for a dangerous tackle on Marcus Thuram.

A brace from Davide Frattesi, a deflection and a composed finish in the 50th and 67th minutes put Simone Inzaghi's charges in the driving seat while Lautaro Martinez's 79th minute clincher came after a defensive blunder.

This was a fifth league match without defeat for Inter following their barnstorming 4-4 draw with Juventus at the weekend.

Juventus can pull to within a point if they beat Parma later.

Udinese were beaten 3-2 by promoted Venezia, who trailed 2-0 before Joel Pohjanpalo converted a pair of penalties followed by a strike from Hans Nicolussi Caviglia to climb off the bottom of the table.

Atalanta host Monza in Wednesday's fourth game.
