MILAN, Italy — Inter Milan got its Serie A campaign off to the perfect start when Marcus Thuram scored twice in a comfortable 5-0 win over a dismal Torino on Monday. Alessandro Bastoni glanced a header home from a corner kick after 17 minutes and Thuram added a second 18 minutes later.

Inter Milan began their bid to reclaim the Serie A title with Monday's 5-0 hammering of sorry Torino in Cristian Chivu's San Siro debut as coach. A large group of ultras stayed outside the stadium in protest at supporters being put on a so-called "black list" and being banned from renewing season tickets in the area of the San Siro commonly known at the "Curva Nord".
