<h3>Inter Milan overcome a shock start</h3>

<p>Going into the game, Inter knew t<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/rafael-leao-scores-ac-milan-beat-fiorentina-1-0-gain-scudetto-advantage/w6ly91z">hey had to win to keep up with leaders and city rivals AC Milan in the title race. </a>However, their title hopes appeared to be up in smoke after Empoli took a shock two-goal lead inside the first 30-minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Empoli, who recently ended Napoli's quest for the title, took the lead in the fifth through Andrea Pinamonti, who is on loan at the club from Inter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It got worse for the Nerazzurri when Kristjan Asllani doubled the away side's advantage in the 28th-minute. However, Inter pulled one back through Simone Romagnoli's own goal before Lautaro Martinez ensured they went into the break level with a strike on the stroke of half-time.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Inzaghi praises Inter Milan's mental strength</h3>

<p>It was a game that tested Inter's resolve, but they showed their quality. The team's display impressed Inzaghi, who praised the players for not giving up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I congratulated my players because we put in a great performance apart from the opening 20-25 minutes when we were too frenetic," Inzaghi told <a href="https://football-italia.net/inzaghi-huge-confidence-booster-for-inter/">DAZN as per football italia. </a></p>

<p>"The good thing is, this team does not give up. This comeback represents a huge confidence booster. This team has been working hard since August 20, but we remained sharp and in the running."</p>

<p>"Empoli play very good football, so we needed to be more organised without the ball. Instead, we got too excitable and paid a heavy price with two goals," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The result puts Inter back on top of the table, one point ahead of AC Milan, who play Hellas Verona this weekend.&nbsp;</p>
