Lazio forward Ciro Immobile scored a 10-minute hat-trick to lead his side to a 4-1 demolition of AC Milan whose perfect start to the season was left in tatters on Sunday.

Milan had won their first six matches of the season -- two in Serie A and four in the Europa League -- but found themselves four goals behind in less than an hour at a soggy Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Inter Milan made it nine points from three games with a 2-0 win over promoted SPAL, the first goal scored by Mauro Icardi from a penalty which took the referee five minutes to award after consulting with the video assistant.

Fiorentina thumped Verona 5-0 away to claim their first win of the season in style and Cagliari also broke their duck with a 1-0 win at home to Crotone.
