Former Manchester United winger Nani scored as Lazio continued their impressive start to the Serie A season by hammering bottom side Benevento.

Bastos, Ciro Immobile and Adam Marusic netted in the first 24 minutes, on-loan Newcastle full-back Achraf Lazaar pulling a goal back for the hosts.

Marco Parolo and Nani's late effort completed a comprehensive victory.

Lazio have lost just one of their first 11 games of the season and are three points behind league leaders Napoli.

Maurizio Sarri's Napoli side beat Sassuolo 3-1 on Sunday, while champions Juve defeated AC Milan 2-0 on Saturday and remain second.

Inter Milan, who are unbeaten this season, travel to Hellas Verona on Monday (19:45 GMT).

Benevento stay bottom with no points and a -25 goal difference.
