Serie A: Inter Milan boosts faint title hopes with 4-0 win over Spal

Inter Milan reignited its faint hopes of winning the Serie A title by thrashing bottom-place Spal 4-0 on Thursday.

Antonio Candreva, Cristiano Biraghi, Alexis Sánchez and Roberto Gagliardini scored to help Inter move to within six points of league leader Juventus with five rounds left.

Spal remained 11 points from safety.

Inter dominated from



the start but took until eight minutes from halftime to break the deadlock when Candreva fired home following a pinpoint assist from Sánchez.

Biraghi doubled Inter’s lead 10 minutes after the break and he set up Sánchez five minutes later with a cross from the left.

Gagliardini had the easiest of finishes to add to the scoreline when he prodded in Ashley Young’s cross.
