Inter Milan responded to AC Milan’s win earlier on Saturday by beating Benevento 4-0 in Serie A.
Antonio Conte’s side had the incentive of keeping up with their cross-city rival’s after Milan had beaten Bologna, and came out comfortably on top after a tricky first half agains the impressive top-flight newcomers.
It took a Riccardo Improta own goal for the Nerazzurri to get in front, but they didn’t have their second goal until almost an hour had been played.
Lautaro Martinez doubled Inter’s lead, before Romelu Lukaku scored twice in the game’s final quarter to seal a comprehensive win.
