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 matches.

It was a party atmosphere at the San Siro with confetti and fireworks before kick-off 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 matches remaining.

The Torino players gave Inter a guard of honour as they walked onto the pitch and Inter coach Simone Inzaghi answered the crowd’s call for him to celebrate with them.

In the first Serie A match to be officiated by an all-female refereeing team, four minutes after half-time 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 with 46 points.
