Inter Milan climbed to the top of Serie A with a comfortable victory over Torino.

Marcus Thuram opened the scoring just before the hour mark, before Lautaro Martinez doubled the visitors' advantage eight minutes later.

Hakan Calhanoglu completed the scoring from the penalty spot after Henrikh Mkhitaryan was fouled by Ivan Ilic in added time.

AC Milan will move above their city rivals if they beat Juventus on Sunday.

Torino could have taken the lead in the first half of Saturday's game, but Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer produced a fine save to deny Demba Seck before smothering Pietro Pellegri's header.

Simone Inzaghi's team improved after the break, however, with Thuram putting them ahead from Denzel Dumfries' pass before Martinez doubled their lead with his 11th league goal of the season.

Calhanoglu coolly converted his late spot-kick to put the seal on Inter's seventh league win in nine matches.

Last season's champions Napoli, who sit fifth, maintained pressure on the top four with a 3-1 win at Hellas Verona.

Matteo Politano opened the scoring for Rudi Garcia's team before Kvicha Kvaratskhelia struck either side of half-time to make it 3-0 by the 55th minute.

Darko Lazovic pulled one back for Verona, but it came too late for the home side.
