Inter Milan continued their impressive away form with a commanding 4-0 victory over Lecce, marking their seventh consecutive win on the road. The Nerazzurri showcased their depth and attacking prowess, with goals from Davide Frattesi, Lautaro Martinez, Denzel Dumfries, and Mehdi Taremi’s Serie A debut strike.
Despite missing key players Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi, Inter’s squad rotation proved effective. Frattesi, making his first Serie A start in three months, opened the scoring early, capitalizing on Marcus Thuram’s assist.
Lecce, already struggling with suspensions and injuries, found themselves overwhelmed by Inter’s relentless attack. The hosts had a brief moment of hope when they appealed for Stefan de Vrij to be sent off, but the referee deemed a yellow card sufficient.
Inter’s dominance continued with Martinez scoring a spectacular left-footed strike, further extending their lead. The second half saw Dumfries add to the tally with a well-placed finish, following a clever assist from Martinez.
The match also marked a significant moment for new signing Mehdi Taremi, who converted a penalty for his first Serie A goal shortly after coming on as a substitute.
Lecce showed occasional flashes of resistance, with Patrick Dorgu, a target of Manchester United, creating some chances. However, they were ultimately unable to breach Inter’s defense, with goalkeeper Yann Sommer making crucial saves when called upon.
The victory was particularly special for Inter manager Simone Inzaghi, who set a new record as the fastest coach to reach 200 Serie A victories, achieving the feat in just 332 games.
