Inter Thrash Parma 3-0 to Move Top of Serie A

Inter secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Parma in the sixth round of Serie A, demonstrating their attacking efficiency to settle the contest in just over half an hour. Cristian Chivu’s side claimed their fifth win of the campaign to move to the top of the table with 16 points.

The hosts started brightly, with Federico Dimarco testing Parma goalkeeper Edoardo Corvi in the fourth minute. Parma responded through El Bilal Touré, but Inter soon took control of the match.

In the 13th minute, a defensive mistake proved costly for the visitors. A short exchange between Corvi and Mandela Keita went wrong, allowing Petar Sučić to seize possession and fire a powerful shot under the crossbar to make it 1-0.

Inter doubled their advantage just two minutes later. Pio Esposito was fouled in the penalty area by Diego Carlos, and after a VAR review, the referee awarded a spot-kick. Hakan Çalhanoğlu stepped up and converted confidently for 2-0.

Marcus Thuram added a third goal in the 31st minute, receiving a pass from Henrikh Mkhitaryan before advancing and finishing accurately into the far corner.

Esposito nearly made it four early in the second half, but Corvi produced an excellent save with his leg. The tempo then slowed, with Parma unable to mount a serious comeback. A long-range effort from substitute Stanković went wide, while Romero fired over the crossbar in the 74th minute.

The final whistle confirmed a comfortable victory for Inter, who moved to 16 points from six matches. Parma, now managed by Alberto Gilardino, remained on four points in 17th place.
