Never in doubt, a sumptuous five-goal win. Inter continue this season's extraordinary journey, winning 5-0 away at Frosinone thanks to goals from Frattesi, Arnautovic, Buchanan, Lautaro, and Thuram. The victory brings with it several interesting insights and stats:
101 GOALS
It's been an extraordinary season that's also been reflected in the numbers achieved by Simone Inzaghi's team. With the five goals scored against Frosinone, Inter have reached 101 goals for the season. Marcus Thuram's goal was the 86th goal for Inter in this Serie A season. The last time the Nerazzurri scored more goals within the first 36 games played in the top flight was in 1950/51 (101 goals on that occasion). With today's victory, Inter have reached a total of 4600 points in Serie A (since 1929/30), becoming one of the two teams to achieve this historic milestone.
THE FIRST TIME TAJON
A drive down the left, a cut inside, and a precise right-footed shot that found the back of the net. This is how Tajon Buchanan's first goal with the Inter shirt was made, which also made him the first Canadian to score a goal in Serie A history. The Nerazzurri winger is the 17th different scorer for Inter this season. No other team has more.
TORO, AGAIN
A powerful left-footed strike that left the Ciociari keeper with no chance. Lautaro Martinez is back to scoring, and he now has 24 goals in this Serie A season. Fifteen of the Nerazzurri captain's goals have come away from home. No Inter player has ever done better in a single season in Serie A.
TIKUS 20
A championship played perfectly for Marcus Thuram, he's been crucial on the road to the victory of the 20th Nerazzurri Scudetto. The Frenchman has been involved in 20 league goals for the first time in his career (thirteen goals and seven assists) in this Serie A season.
THE FRATTESI FACTOR
His goals have been crucial en route to the Second Star, and yesterday he confirmed it once again. Davide Frattesi, with the goal scored against Frosinone, has set a personal record for goal involvement in a single Serie A season with six goals and two assists. Frattesi is one of only three Italian midfielders who have scored more than five goals in the top five European leagues in both of the last two seasons.
ARNAUTOVIC BACK ON TOP
With the goal scored against Frosinone, Marko Arnautović has now scored three goals in Serie A this season. He has also provided three assists. The last time the Austrian striker scored at least three goals and provided at least three assists was in the 2018/19 season when he played for West Ham.
