Inter move to third place after routing Cagliari 4-0

Inter Milan ended a three-game winless run with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Cagliari to be in contention for the 2018-19 Champions League berths.

Inter captain Mauro Icardi on Tuesday scored his 25th goal of the season after the break, which set his personal best record in a single season, reports Xinhua news agency.

Joao Cancelo opened the scoring for the hosts only two minutes into the game at the San Siro stadium. Marcelo Brozovic netted the third and Ivan Perisic added another goal at the end of the game.

With this victory, Luciano Spalletti's side put pressure on fourth-placed Roma and fifth-placed Lazio, both two points behind Inter, who will play Genoa and Fiorentina respectively on Wednesday.
