Inter back to winning ways with comfortable victory at Empoli

After the home side had started brightly, Inter grew into the contest and edged in front thanks to Danilo D'Ambrosio's well-timed header in the 34th minute.

Inter were in total control after Empoli's Samuele Ricci was sent off for a reckless tackle on Nicolo Barella just six minutes into the second half.

Inter made the most of their numerical advantage when Federico Dimarco put the visitors 2-0 up in the 66th minute.

Inter took their foot off the gas and cruised the final period of the match, earning their first victory in three league games to stay third in the standings on 21 points, seven behind leaders AC Milan. Empoli drop to 12th on 12 points.
