JAKARTA - Defending champions Inter Milan returned to winning track in a series of matches in the tenth week of Serie A which took place early Thursday.

Simone Inzaghi's side won 2-0 over Empoli on the trip to the Carlo Castellani Stadium, where the hosts were forced to finish with just ten men.

Able to reduce some of the host's threats early in the match, Inter opened the scoring through Danilo D'Ambrosio's header to welcome Alexis Sanchez's free kick in the 34th minute.

Sanchez came close to doubling the lead a minute before half-time but his shot hit the post.

Seven minutes into the second half, Empoli had to lose Samuele Ricci who was immediately sent off for a too high tackle against Alessandro Bastoni.

Inter's unequal situation was used to complete a 2-0 victory through Federico Dimarco's goal in the 66th minute.

With this result, the Nerazzurri remain in third place in the standings with 21 points.
