Serie A title hopefuls Inter Milan eased past second-tier rivals Venezia in a one-sided Coppa Italia clash at San Siro.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri strikers ran riot, inspiring the 20-time Italian champions to a 5-1 win.

Cristian Chivu decided to bench his captain, Lautaro Martinez, ahead of a high-stakes league clash against Como.

Therefore, Francesco Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram started in the final third.

Furthermore, both center-forwards found the net before halftime.
