Milan: Debutant striker Edin Dzeko was on target as Inter Milan got their Serie A title defence off  to a flying start, thrashing Genoa4-0 in their opening match of the season in front of fans in the San Siro on Saturday. HAkan Calhanoglu, who crossed the divide to sign for Inter from zcity rivals AC Milan in the summmer, took centre stage from the off, setting up Milan Akriniar for his side;s sixth minute opener. The visitors had a great chance to get back in the contest just before the interval, but Yayah Kallon dragged his effort wide from a good position. That miss proved costly as Inter added a third in the 74th minute through substitute Arturo Vidal to make sure of the three points. Veteran forward Dzeko, who joined from AS Roma earlier this month, marked his 200th Serie A appearance by heading home a late fourth. "I was calm because I know that the fans have great faith in me," Calhanoglu told DAZN. "We worked hard and well, we started strong and won with style. "We are mature players, it is easy to play with team mates who have quality, understanding their movements is easier. Today we had a good game and we want to continue like this."
