Marcus Thuram and Alessandro Bastoni ran the show as Inter Milan put Torino to the sword in their opening Serie A outing.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, both Nerazzurri stars impressed in last night’s 5-0 victory at San Siro.

The second half of last season was difficult for Marcus Thuram.

Indeed, recurring fitness problems and a significant drop-off in form derailed his first-team status.

However, the 27-year-old went from strength to strength in his first league appearance under Cristian Chivu.

Thuram & Bastoni Impressive in Inter Milan Win vs Torino

Marcus Thuram netted on either side of halftime en route to winning the ‘Man of the Match’ award.

Firstly, he put Inter 2-0 up with a clinical finish late in the first half. Then, he killed the game off with a towering header early in the second period.

Meanwhile, Bastoni opened the scoring in the 18th minute, meeting Nicolo Barella’s corner-kick delivery at the near post.

In addition to the goal, the star defender held up his end of the bargain at the back, neutralizing Giovanni Simeone.
