Inter Milan wasted no time flexing their attacking muscle as they dismantled Torino 5-0 at home to open their Serie A campaign on Monday.

The hosts' dominance was rewarded in the 18th minute when Alessandro Bastoni rose highest at a corner and guided a looping header over the Torino defence and inside the far post.

Nine minutes before the interval, Petar Sucic slipped Marcus Thuram through inside the Torino box, and the Frenchman finished with ease from an acute angle to double Inter’s lead.

Inter carried their superiority into the second half, as Lautaro Martinez pounced on a misplaced Torino backpass in the box and calmly slotted home Inter’s third seven minutes in.

Thuram continued the onslaught in the 62nd minute when he rose high to head in a cross from Bastoni while Ange-Yoan Bonny completed the rout with the fifth goal in the 72nd minute.
