2-0 success against the Granata for the Nerazzurri: the Turkish midfielder was an absolute star, scoring a brace
Inter’s unforgettable Sunday began at lunchtime, on the San Siro lawn: the Nerazzurri beat Torino 2-0, obtaining yet another victory in this extraordinary championship. Absolute protagonist of the match, as he recalls Corriere dello Sportis Hakan Calhanoglu, author of the decisive brace: “You look for Toro and instead you find Calhanoglu. While Lautaro still remained without a goal, in fact, it was the Turk, with a brace, who gave Inter yet another victory in this extraordinary championship. Now there are 28, while the points in the standings have become 89: +19 over Milan and above all the final triple figure still within reach. Torino paid the price, penalized by Tameze’s expulsion (last man foul on Mkhitaryan reviewed at VAR) at the start of the second half. After a slow first half, the Nerazzurri stepped up to the plate after the break. And, taking advantage of their numerical superiority, they completed the grenade practice within a quarter of an hour.
The battering ram, as mentioned, was Calhanoglu. Who, first, took advantage of a volley assist from the usual Mkhitaryan, beating Milinkovic-Savic with a first-time jab, with his left foot. And who then converted the penalty kick, won by Thuram, knocked down by Lovato. The Turk, an extraordinary specialist from the penalty spot (17 out of 17 with Inter, 20 out of 20 since he has been in Italy). […] Calhanoglu rose to 13 in Serie A and 15 for the season, further demolishing his previous record of 11, set in 2013/14 with Hamburg“.
