October 30, (THEWILL) – Inter Milan maintained their pursuit of the Serie A summit with a commanding 3-0 victory against Empoli on Wednesday evening. The match turned decisively when Empoli’s Saba Goglichidze received a red card for a high challenge on Marcus Thuram after 30 minutes of play.
Davide Frattesi emerged the principal figure, scoring twice in the second half. His first goal came through a deflected effort off the far post following Matteo Darmian’s header, while his second resulted from an intelligent Lautaro Martinez assist. Martinez himself added the third goal, capitalising on a goalkeeper error by Vasquez.
The result places Inter Milan four points behind league leaders Napoli, who recorded a 2-0 win against AC Milan on Tuesday. Inter’s performance demonstrated their attacking capabilities, particularly after the numerical advantage, converting their dominance into three crucial goals.
For Empoli, the defeat extends their winless run to five matches. Despite their traditionally strong defensive record this season, they found themselves unable to contain Inter’s offensive pressure following the red card incident, which significantly altered the match dynamics.
The victory represents Inter’s fifth consecutive league match without defeat, accumulating 21 points in the standings. This result builds upon their recent 4-4 draw with Juventus, though this time with a more controlled performance resulting in maximum points.
