Lazio suffered their worst defeat at home as champions Inter Milan thrashed 6-0 in Rome.

Lazio started the night level on points with Inter and top of the Europa League table but had no answer to a stunning attacking display from Simone Inzaghi’s side.

They are unbeaten in 12 home games and haven’t lost in front of their own fans since March.

Hakan Calhanoglu put Inter ahead from the spot in the 41st minute, after being awarded a penalty for handball, and Federico Dimarco doubled the lead before the break with a volley.

Nicolo Barella made it 3-0 six minutes after the restart and two minutes later Denzel Dumfries and Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram completed the rout late on.

Inter are third in the standings with 34 points from 15 matches and trail leaders Atalanta by three points with a game in hand.

Lazio’s previous record at home was a 5-0 defeat to Fiorentina in 1959.

Their three biggest Serie A defeats are against Internazionale: 8–1 (in 1934) and 7–0 (in 1961) followed by defeats at Milan.
