Filippo Inzaghi did not wait, on the bench of Salernitana, to meet his own brother Simone, who is marching mercilessly towards the title with Inter.
The older of the Inzagi brothers was replaced by Fabio Liverani, who with the chosen ones recorded the expected defeat in Meaca:
INTER – SALERNITANA 4:0 (3:0)
/Tiram 17, Martinez 19, Dumfries 40. Arnautović 90+1/
The former Juventus and Milan striker was sacked after just three wins in 18 games, and was succeeded by the former Lazio ace, who could only watch as Inter finished the job in just two minutes.
From the beginning, Inter moved violently towards the goal of Salernitana – the fact that in the first 20 minutes of the match they sent as many as ten shots, five of which hit the goal, speaks volumes for that. The goal was “hanging in the air”, and Salernitana was “started” by Markus Tiram, with his tenth goal of the season, with the same number of assists.

He was employed by Carlos Augusto, who has huge credit for Inter’s second goal as well. He performed one long out, and the ball reached the captain of the home team, Lautaro Martinez, who continued to “terrorize” the opposing goalkeepers tonight. He scored the 20th goal of the season!

Denzel Dumfries made sure that those were not the only troubles for the visitors in the first half, to whom the ball happily bounced after an action by his teammates on the left side.
DUMFRIES AND 3-0!

In the end, when the seconds to the end of the match were already counted, Marko Arnautović scored for 4:0, ten minutes after one of his goals was canceled due to offside.

In addition to increasing the advantage over Juventus to ten points and continuing to take a sure step towards the title, Inter “warmed up” well for the start of the knockout phase in the Champions League.
On Tuesday, in the same place where he taught Salernitani a lesson tonight, he will host Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the round of 16.
