Inter back on top after vanquishing Verona by five
Inter Milan hammered lowly Verona 5-0 away from home to move top of the Serie A table, with all five goals coming in the first half.
The hosts could easily have taken the lead through Casper Tengstedt just six minutes in as he struck the post after causing chaos in the box, but Inter sparked to life after that.
Joaquin Correa rattled the crossbar moments later, and then opened the scoring after 17 minutes, finishing off a lovely team move by chipping Lorenzo Montipo.
Having set up the opener, Marcus Thuram added a quick-fire double; twice in three minutes, he took the goalkeeper out of the game with clever play before picking out the back of the net.
Substitute Stefan de Vrij fired their fourth past Montipo before Yann Bisseck managed to pick out the top corner despite initially tripping over the ball in the 41st minute.
The second half was a subdued affair, although Correa almost scored another, but instead smacked the crossbar for a second time.
Inter leapfrogged Napoli, which plays Roma on Monday (AEDT), as it moved into first place with 28 points. Verona is 14th on 12 points.
