The ball from Inter vs. Torino is going home with Marcus Thuram. Three goals, his first hat-trick in the Nerazzurri shirt, and three points secured. The 3-2 victory at San Siro came in a match that was dominated but also strange, with the French striker as the standout player. This marks his first hat-trick in the Inter jersey and the second of his career (his first was for Borussia Mönchengladbach against Oberachern in the DFB-Pokal on 31 July 2022).
Thuram currently leads the Serie A scoring charts with 7 goals, tied with Mateo Retegui. Following his brace against Genoa and another double against Atalanta, he has now registered multiple goals in a match once again, this time in a game that ended with the number 3. Two of his goals were headers. In fact, the last player to score a header brace for Inter in a single match was Mauro Icardi back on 19 November 2017, against Atalanta.
Thuram is the third Inter player to score a hat-trick against Torino in Serie A, following Roberto Boninsegna on 3 March 1974, and Edwin Ronald Firmani on 28 December 1958. He has now scored 13 goals this calendar year, trailing only Vlahovic, who has 14.
The fans at San Siro relished the performance, with chants of "Siam venuti fin qua per vedere segnare Thuram' (We came all this way to see Thuram score) echoing repeatedly throughout the match.
