New signing, Edin Dzeko, registered a debut goal for Inter as the defending Serie A Champions began their title defence with a 4-0 victory over Genoa.
Having lost Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea this summer, the Nerrazurri began life without the Belgian and former coach, Antonio Conte, with a perfect start in front of over 27,000 spectators at the San Siro as crowds return to stadiums in Italy.
The San Siro club played as though their financial troubles which also saw the sale of Achraf Hakimi were behind them as they began a new life under new boss Simone Inzaghi.
Skriniar opened the scoring five minutes into the new season with a thumping header from a corner by Calhanoglu, who doubled Inter’s lead eight minutes later by drilling home a long-range strike after exchanging passes with fellow new signing Dzeko.
Vidal made sure of the points when he swept home the third following smart from Nicolo Barella to set up the Chilean after Dzeko’s curling shot was well saved by Genoa stopper Salvatore Sirigu, AFP reports.
A gloriously warm evening in Milan was made even better for the home fans when Lukaku’s replacement Dzeko rounding off the scoring by meeting Vidal’s deep cross with a thumping header to score his first goal in Inter colours.
