The Nerazzurri had to survive early pressure from Lazio as Tijjani Noslin twice went close for the hosts, but they did not look back after taking the lead in the 41st minute in bizarre circumstances.
Stefan de Vrij initially saw a close-range finish disallowed due to a mistake by Denzel Dumfries during a goal, but when referee Daniele Chiffi was sent to the monitor for an on-pitch VAR review, he instead penalized Samuel Gigot for handball and awarded him an Inter. penalty, which Hakan Calhanoglu converted.
Four minutes later, Inter doubled their lead through Federico Dimarco, who beat Ivan Provedel on the volley from a Dumfries cross.
The Nerazzurri then scored nil after half-time as Simone Inzaghi inflicted a crushing defeat on his old club. Nicolo Barella made it 3-0 six minutes after the restart before Dumfries headed in a fourth two minutes later.
Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram completed the rout late in the afternoon, with the former showing great footwork in a crowded area to head home, before the latter secured his finish inside the near post.
Inter remain third in the standings with 34 points from fifteen games, but are now just three points behind leaders Atalanta with a game in hand. Lazio are fifth on 31 from 16 games.
