MILAN — Alexis Sanchez produced an imposing performance to inspire Inter Milan to a 6-0 win over Serie A strugglers Brescia at San Siro on Wednesday.
Sanchez scored for Inter for only the second time but helped set up other goals as they consolidated third place in Serie A and moved closer to a berth in next season’s Champions League.
Brescia slipped to the bottom of the table and will need a dramatic turnaround in fortunes in their remaining nine games if they are to avoid an immediate return to Serie B.
Ashley Young gave Inter a fifth-minute lead before Sanchez, showing glimpses of old form, converted a 20th-minute penalty to double their advantage.
Danilo D’Ambrosio made it 3-0 on the stroke of halftime with Roberto Gagliardini, Christian Eriksen and Antonio Candreva adding to the score in the second half.
