Romelu Lukaku put his Inter team back on the winning track after five matches in which the Nerazzurri felt no league victory, scoring a brace in a 3-0 win over Empoli on Sunday’s 31st stage.
Lukaku opened Inter’s scoring in the 48th minute with a “weak” right hand before doubling with a left hand (76), his first double since returning to the Italian club last summer after a season with Chelsea.
Lukaku presented the third goal on the silver plate with a ground pass to his Argentinean colleague Lautaro Martinez (88), which helped Inter to an important win.
And with his qualification for the Champions League semi-finals against rivals AC Milan, Inter Sunday secured their first win away from home since January and ended a five-match streak without a win (four losses and a draw). ), which ruled him out of the race to qualify for next season’s major continental competitions.
With the three points he scored at Empoli, the Nerazzurri are temporarily up to fifth place in the league with 54 points, one point ahead of AC Milan host Lecce on Sunday.
Inter are two points behind Roma (fourth), who end the tournament tomorrow, on Monday, when they meet Atalanta (seventh).
