After disposing of last season's Scudetto winners, Inter Milan will continue their quest for this term's Serie A title on Saturday, when they host Udinese.
Having crushed Napoli down south, Inter now return to their San Siro stronghold aiming to reclaim top spot in the table by beating Italy's draw specialists.
After the Turkey international struck sweetly to become the first Inter midfielder with more than five goals at this stage of a Serie A season since Lothar Matthaus in 1990, Simone Inzaghi's side seized the momentum, and further finishes from Nicolo Barella and Marcus Thuram secured a superb 3-0 success at Stadio Maradona.
As a result, they moved back to the top of the Serie A standings, leaving Napoli 11 points behind - arch-rivals Milan trail by six. However, another win for Juventus on Friday evening then saw them drop down to second.
Now boasting a goal difference of +26 (33 scored and just seven conceded) - equalling the club's best record after 14 games, set some 90 years ago - the Nerazzurri have proved themselves a well-oiled machine that could take some stopping in Italy and beyond.
