Forward Joaquin Correa opened the scoring after 17 minutes, before Marcus Thuram added a quick-fire double and Stefan de Vrij and Yann Bisseck also found the net.Inter, who were held to a 1-1 home draw by Napoli before the international break, moved on to 28 points from 13 games, two points ahead of second-placed Napoli who host AS Roma on Sunday.
That sparked Inter into life and Correa finished off a superb team move when he chipped Verona goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo following a precise pass from Thuram who partnered Correa in the absence of Argentina striker Lautaro Martinez, who was rested having returned late from international duty. The 27-year-old then latched onto another long pass - this time from Alessandro Bastoni - to make it 3-0 with a low strike, moving him second among Serie A's top scorers this season with nine goals, two behind Atalanta striker Mateo Retegui.
