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 b🧸ox before crossing for Davide Frattesi to volley home.

Lautaro Martinez doubled the lead six minutes before half-t🐽ime, 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 goa👍lkeeper Wladimiro Falcone from a tight angl♏e.

Mehdi Taremi added further gloss to the scoreline just ⛦after the h﷽our, 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 A🍨lle✅gri (338).

Inter recorded their seven🃏th 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, Th✨uram (26 goals, 11 assists) is the only playe🥃r with more than 25 goals and more than 10 assists in the last two Serie A seasons.

Martinez became th🎐e 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 leag♊ue goal of the 🔯season, a record for a Dutch player in a single Serie A campaign.
