Romelu Lukaku was involved in all three goals as Inter Milan secured a comfortable 3-0 victory against Empoli on Sunday afternoon to end their five-match winless run.
While Inter have soared in the Champions League to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2010, their Serie A form had plummeted as they dropped out of the top four, having been second in the league.
Inter struggled to break down a resolute Empoli defence in a goalless first half as the visitors lacked precision in the final third against a well organised wall of blue shirts.
