Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini won his first game since returning to Inter Milan as they saw off 10-man Chievo.
Mancini won three Serie A titles with Inter between 2006 and 2008 but his current side are down in 11th, 16 points behind leaders Juventus.
Midfielder Mateo Kovacic opened the scoring when he seized on a poor clearance to beat Benjamin Bizzarri.
Andrea Ranocchia doubled the lead before Ruben Botta was sent off.
Mancini, 50, returned to Inter for the Milan derby last month, but, after a 1-1 draw presided over defeats by Roma and Udinese.
