The Croatia international scored a brilliant treble, with Josip Ilicic also on the scoresheet, with Roberto Mancini's men reduced to 10 men with Miranda's sending off
Nikola Kalinic grabbed a hat-trick as Fiorentina secured a stunning 4-1 win over 10-man Inter at San Siro, replacing the hosts at the top of Serie A in the process.
Josip Ilicic also found the net for the visitors, while Inter lost Miranda to a red card in a disastrous opening half-hour.
The former Atletico Madrid defender was shown a straight red card for pulling down Kalinic with the striker clean through, with Fiorentina having already raced into a 3-0 lead.
Roberto Mancini's side had gone into the game boasting a 100 per cent record this term, but were torn apart by their opponents and could easily have lost by an even more emphatic scoreline.
Prior to Miranda's dismissal, Ilicic's penalty and a quick-fire double from Kalinic had put Fioreninta in total control and although Mauro Icardi pulled one back on the hour, it was left to Kalinic to complete his treble with 14 minutes left.
Fiorentina now leap to the summit, ahead of Inter on goal difference on the back of their third win in succession.
