Marcus Thuram scored his first Serie A goal on Sunday as Inter Milan thumped Fiorentina 4-0 and moved level with AC Milan at the top of Serie A. France forward Thuram opened the scoring midway through the first half and had a hand in two more strikes from Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu which helped continue Inter’s perfect start to the new season.
“The whole team played well today, it was a good evening,” said Thuram to DAZN. “I’m really happy with my goal and key pass, I just want to help the team as much as I can.”
Inter host Milan, who have also won their first three matches, in the first derby of the season immediately after the international break. That match promises to be a blockbuster as both teams already look like strong contenders for the league title. And Milan will be looking for revenge for a comprehensive defeat to their local rivals in last season’s Champions League semi-finals.
Leading the line for Inter should be Thuram, who has slotted in brilliantly alongside Martinez since signing from Borussia Moenchengladbach this summer and returning to the country of his birth.—AFP
