Inter Milan built on their positive start in Europe by storming to the top of the Serie A table for the first time this season with a 3-1 victory at Torino.
An own goal by Marco Pisano, and one goal apiece from Brazilian fullback Maicon and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, four days after a 2-0 Champions League win over Panathinaikos, provided further proof the marriage between Inter and new coach Jose Mourinho is gelling nicely.
And the top of the tree is taking on a familiar look with Juventus moving up to second after their 1-0 success at rock bottom Cagliari. Lazio, the only remaining team with a 100 percent record, can regain the league lead if they win Sunday's evening match at AC Milan, who are currently held off the bottom only by hapless Cagliari.
Inter were at their dominant best in Turin and there were clear signs that Mourinho's magic has already started to take effect. The former Chelsea manager started the redeemed Adriano up front alongside Sweden striker Ibrahimovic and the pair proved too much for Torino.
It was Adriano who freed fellow Brazilian Alessandro Mancini on the right after 24 minutes with the winger's cross being turned into his own net by Pisano.
Just two minutes later Maicon doubled the lead as he was allowed to run unopposed to the corner of the Torino box before unleashing into the top corner a howitzer that two goalkeepers could not have stopped. And Ibrahimovic rounded off the comprehensive victory, finishing off good work from Maicon and Mancini with the outside of his right foot.
Torino did not leave the building empty handed, though, as Elvis Abbruscato netted a Jurgen Samuel cross from close range 14 minutes from time. Juventus were without injured French forward David Trezeguet but new Brazilian signing Amauri proved he is more than an ample replacement as he volleyed home strike partner Vincenzo Iaquinta's flick-on after 39 minutes.
