Inter responded to wins by Fiorentina and Juventus with a 1-0 success at Empoli to stay top of Serie A in the race for the Scudetto.

Mauro Icardi scored the only goal of the game as Inter responded to the challenge of Fiorentina and Juventus by reassuming top spot in Serie A with a 1-0 win at Empoli.

Inter had been deposed by Fiorentina earlier on Wednesday courtesy of the 3-1 away win over Palermo, while defending champion Juve had also leapfrogged Roberto Mancini's men by claiming an eighth straight league victory, defeating Verona 3-0.
