Mauro Icardi and Ever Banega got hat-tricks in an astonishing performance from Inter, who crushed fifth-placed Atalanta 7-1 to leapfrog them in the race for Europe.
It was a show of force from Stefano Pioli’s side, who not only beat the surprise outfit of the season so far, but positively dismantled them.
Icardi had his hat-trick before the half-hour mark, while Banega added a trio of his own and Roberto Gagliardini also scored against his former club.
It was a rude awakening for Atalanta, who now slip behind Inter in the standings.
