Inter Milan moved a point clear at the top of Serie A as an Ivan Perisic hat trick helped them to a 5-0 victory over Chievo.

Mauro Icardi and Milan Skriniar were also on target for Inter, who took full advantage of Napoli's defeat to Juventus.

Perisic opened the scoring when his attempt was fumbled over the line by the goalkeeper, with Icardi thumping his side's second before Perisic finished off a fine run to add another.

Skriniar then made it 4-0 before Perisic completed his hat trick in stoppage time as Inter strolled to another three points.
