Inter Milan edged closer to clinching the Serie A title with a commanding 3-0 victory over Cagliari at the San Siro, extending their lead to 12 points at the top of the table.
The home side found themselves puzzled as to how they had failed to score in the first 20 minutes.
Thuram finally broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute, calmly finishing after a sublime pass from Dimarco.
The ecstatic home crowd erupted after the Frenchman netted his 11th Serie A goal of the season, and just four minutes later, Nicolo Barella added a second, striking the ball past Caprile in style to double Inter’s lead.
The scoreline seemed to drain any hope from the visitors, with the match effectively done and dusted, as Piotr Zielinski capped off the evening with a brilliant finish for the hosts’ third goal just before the final whistle.
This victory marks Inter’s third consecutive win as they stand on the cusp of claiming the Scudetto. Next up, the Nerazzurri will shift their focus to the Coppa Italia, facing Como in the second leg of the semi-final on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Cagliari sits 16th in the Serie A table, remaining six points above the relegation zone with the end of the season fast approaching.
