Ange-Yoan Bonny sealed the win with a goal on his league debut. Nicolo Barella orchestrated the midfield and provided the opening assist. Cristian Chivu became the first foreign Inter coach since Hector Cuper in 2003 to win the Serie A season opener. Inter top the table on goal difference; Torino sit bottom.
Inter made a flying start to their first Serie A campaign under Cristian Chivu as they thumped Torino 5-0 at San Siro. The hosts dominated the opening exchanges and took the lead after 18 minutes as Alessandro Bastoni glanced home a header from Nicolo Barella's corner. They doubled their advantage 10 minutes before the break as Marcus Thuram fired a low effort into the corner, with Lautaro Martinez adding a third at the start of the second half.
Barella pulled the strings for the home side and assisted their first goal of the new campaign. He is now just one of three midfielders that has provided an assist in each of the last 10 seasons in Europe's top five leagues, along with Rodri and Pascal Gross. Chivu could hardly have asked for a better league debut, and he became the first foreign Inter coach since Hector Cuper in 2003 to win their Serie A season opener.
