MILAN - Hakan Calhanoglu scored twice to give newly-crowned Serie A champions Inter Milan a comfortable 2-0 win over 10-man Torino on Sunday, extending their unbeaten league run to 28 games.
It was a party atmosphere at the San Siro with confetti and fireworks before kickoff as the Inter fans continued to celebrate the Scudetto title they secured on Monday with a 2-1 derby win over AC Milan,
Inter have 89 points, 19 clear of Milan with four games remaining.
The Torino players gave Inter a guard of honour as they walked on to the pitch and Inter coach Simone Inzaghi answered the crowd's call for him to celebrate with them.
In the first Serie A game to be officiated by an all-female refereeing team, four minutes after halftime Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi sent off Torino's Adrien Tameze for a foul on Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Inter made the breakthrough seven minutes later when Mkhitaryan passed to Calhanoglu in the area who drove a shot into the bottom corner.
Calhanoglu converted a penalty four minutes later after a foul on Marcus Thuram and the party will continue into the evening as the Inter players parade through the streets of Milan on open top buses.
Torino remained 10th in the standings on 46 points.
INTER PARTY
Tens of thousands of fans dressed in black and blue flooded the streets of Milan afterwards as the team celebrated their 20th Serie A title, parading in an open-air bus.
Leaving the San Siro after the match, the team showed off their Scudetto from the bus before moving the party to Piazza Duomo, a well-known celebration spot in the city.
From there, flares and fireworks lit up the night sky, with flags of the Nerazzuri waving in the shadow of the famous Milan Cathedral.
For many supporters, the celebration was emotional.
"Marvellous. Almost more beautiful than the treble in 2010. The most beautiful Scudetto in my life of 70 years as an Inter fan," Inter fan Emilio said to Reuters.
Inter have now won one more Serie A title than city rivals AC Milan, who own 19.
"We are enjoying this incredible mania, right in front of the AC Milan supporters... there is nothing better than this," Inter fan Matteo said with a smile. REUTERS
