Mon Nov 25 23:55:39 UTC 2024: ## Inter Milan Storms to Serie A Top Spot with 5-0 Verona Rout
**VERONA, Italy (Nov 23, 2024)** – Inter Milan surged to the top of the Serie A table on Saturday after demolishing Hellas Verona 5-0 in a dominant first-half performance. All five goals were scored before halftime, with Marcus Thuram bagging a brace and further strikes from Joaquin Correa, Stefan de Vrij, and Yann Bisseck.
The victory puts Inter two points ahead of Napoli, though Atalanta could reclaim the top spot later on Saturday if they defeat Parma. Napoli faces Roma on Sunday. Elsewhere, Juventus will aim to leapfrog Napoli into second place when they play AC Milan on Saturday.
Correa’s 17th-minute opener, his first Serie A goal in over two years, ignited Inter’s onslaught. The Argentine, who had only played 38 minutes this season before the match, stepped in admirably for the absent Lautaro Martinez (illness) and also assisted Thuram’s first goal. Thuram’s two goals, scored within three minutes of each other, showcased his impressive skill, as he easily evaded Verona goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo. De Vrij and Bisseck added late goals, solidifying Inter’s commanding victory.
Verona, who have now lost nine of their 13 league games this season, are struggling near the relegation zone, currently sitting 14th, only three points above the drop. The home crowd expressed their frustration with loud boos and chants throughout the second half.
