Inter reclaimed their spot at the summit of Serie A with a 4-0 win thanks to goals from Hakan Calhanoglu, Federico Di Marco, Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.

Udinese were on the wrong side of a drubbing at the Guiseppe Meazza where Inter Milan sealed a 4-0 win to reclaim their status as league leaders.

Inter temporarily dropped to second on the log following Juventus' 1-0 win against Napoli on Friday but they knew a win would return them to the top and that is exactly what Simone Inzaghi's men did.

Goals from Hakan Calhanoglu, Federico Di Marco, Marcus Thuram and top scorer Lautaro Martinez secured the emphatic win for the league leaders.

Simone Inzaghi’s team had on a special kit for this match as they took to the pitch in a limited edition jersey that celebrates the Transformers film series.

The Nerrazzurri played with the swagger and confidence of superheroes but had to wait till late in the first half before breaking the deadlock.

Inter were handed a golden opportunity in the 37th minute to take the lead when Nehuen Perez was penalised for pulling back Martínez in the box. Çalhanoğlu assumed the responsibility from the spot, and the midfielder coolly dispatched the penalty into the bottom-left corner

Inter upped the ante by adding two goals in the space of three minutes. First, Dimarco showed impressive composure to sweep home from Çalhanoğlu’s inch-perfect pass. 

Shortly after, Marcus Thuram finished off a sensational team move, tapping home at the back post following Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s deft cross to make it 3-0 just before half-time.

Already 3-0 up, Inter took their foot off the pedal but Lautaro Martinez wouldn't let a great chance to get on the scoresheet pass him by, doing so in spectacular fashion in the 84th minute.

Martinez fired a superb strike into the far corner from distance to take his tally for the season to 14 goals already.
