Lecce 0-4 Inter: Inzaghi notches up 200th win as visitors maintain pressure on Napoli
Inter moved back to within three points of Napoli at the Serie A summit, while it was a landmark victory for Simone Inzaghi.
Inter maintained the pressure on Serie A leaders Napoli with a dominant 4-0 win over Lecce at Via del Mare.
Simone Inzaghi oversaw his 200th Serie A victory as a coach, with his side moving to within three points of the Partenopei with a game in hand.
Inter broke the deadlock after just six minutes when Marcus Thuram skilfully worked his way into the box before crossing for Davide Frattesi to volley home.
Lautaro Martinez doubled the lead six minutes before half-time, darting into the area before firing into the top corner.
The skipper turned provider in the 57th minute when he found Denzel Dumfries, who drilled past Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone from a tight angle.
Mehdi Taremi added further gloss to the scoreline just after the hour, sealing the victory from the penalty spot after Falcone felled Frattesi.
Data Debrief: Inzaghi brings up 200th Serie A win
Inzaghi has taken the fewest matches (332) of any coach to reach 200 wins in Serie A, surpassing Massimiliano Allegri (338).
Inter recorded their seventh successive away league clean sheet, with only Milan (eight between November 1993 and March 1994) registering a longer such streak in the Italian top flight.
In setting up the opener, Thuram (26 goals, 11 assists) is the only player with more than 25 goals and more than 10 assists in the last two Serie A seasons.
Martinez became the second-highest foreign scorer in Inter's Serie A history, with his 112th strike meaning Stefano Nyers (133) is only non-Italian to net more times for the Nerazzurri (133).
Dumfries made it 3-0 with his sixth league goal of the season, a record for a Dutch player in a single Serie A campaign.
