The France forward had a hand in three goals in his side’s 4-0 win over Fiorentina.
MILAN: Marcus Thuram scored his first Serie A goal today as Inter Milan thumped Fiorentina 4-0 and moved level with AC Milan at the top of Serie A.
That match promises to be a blockbuster as both teams already look like strong contenders for the league title. Thuram, 26, was born in Parma where his World Cup-winning father Lilian played for five seasons, winning the Uefa Cup and Italian Cup in 1999 as part of a star-studded outfit which also featured Italian icons Gianluigi Buffon and Fabio Cannavaro.
However he rolled in Martinez for a simple finish eight minutes after the break and was then brought down by Fiorentina goalkeeper Oliver Christensen shortly afterwards to give Calhanoglu a chance from the penalty spot that he didn’t waste. Danilo opened the scoring in the 24th minute in Tuscany after confusion at a corner and Federico Chiesa ensured Juve of the points with his second of the campaign eight minutes from the end.
Juve had little problem dealing with Empoli, striking the woodwork twice through Milik and Moise Kean while Dusan Vlahovic also missed a first half penalty.
