Inter made a flying start of their first Serie A campaign under Cristian Chivu while beating Torino 5-0 in San Siro.
The hosts dominated the opening fairs and took the lead after 18 minutes when Alessandro Bastoni threw a header from Nicolo Barella's Hoek home.
They doubled their advantage 10 minutes before the break when Marcus Thuram fired a low effort in the corner, with Lautaro Martinez added a third at the start of the second half.
Thuram scored his second of the game after he was founded by Bastoni, with Ange-Yoan Bonny who added further shine to the score when he found the net on his league debut for the club.

Inter to the top of the Serie A on target difference at the end of the competition day, and their next game is at home in Udinese within six days.
Torino is a low point, but hope to start their season when they organize Fiorentina on weekends.
Data Debrief: Barella performs the show while Torino suffers the loss of the opening of records
Barella drew the strings for the home team and helped their first goal of the new campaign.
He is now only one of three midfielders who has offered an assist in each of the last 10 seasons in Europe's top five competitions, together with Rodri and Pascal Gross.
Chivu could hardly have asked for a better league debut, and he became the first foreign interCoach since Hector Cuper in 2003 to win their Serie A -Seassens opener.
A 5-0 defeat is a desperate disappointing way for Torino to start the season, whereby the club has never lost more than three goals in the opening match of a competition campaign.
