Inter Milan Defeats Empoli 3-1 in Serie A

Inter Milan secured a 3-1 victory over Empoli at home, keeping pace with leaders Napoli in Serie A. Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring in the 55th minute, followed by Denzel Dumfries' header in the 79th, and Marcus Thuram sealed the win shortly after despite a late goal from Empoli's Sebastiano Esposito. The win puts Inter second in the table with 47 points, just three behind Napoli, although they have a game in hand. Inter had a shaky start to the year, losing the Supercoppa Italiana Final and drawing with Bologna, which added pressure on the team. Coach Simone Inzaghi is dealing with several injuries and a suspension but managed to secure a crucial win. Despite their struggles, the team remains competitive in the title race as they prepare for upcoming matches.
