Serie A | Inter 4-1 Monza: Quality shows in the end for Champions
Inter recovered from a shaky first half to crush Monza 4-1 including spectacular Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Pio Esposito goals, on John Stones’ debut.
The Nerazzurri won the Domestic Double last season and were eager to get off to a good start , although none of the new signings were ready to play here, with only John Stones on the bench, as Djed Spence and Curtis Jones saluted their fans.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was suspended, but Lautaro Martinez started on his 29 th birthday. Monza missed Matteo Pessina, Patrick Ciurria, Leonardo Colombo, Ebeneezer Akinsanmiro, Idrissa Touré plus suspended Dany Mota Carvalho and Demba Thiam, with Patrick Cutrone not at 100 per cent.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

It was a spectacular first goal of the season, as Francesco Pio Esposito held off a defender with his strength, then Andy Diouf pulled it back for Calhanoglu to hit an unstoppable screamer into the roof of the net from 25 yards out.
Nicolò Barella’s right-foot curler skimmed the top of the bar, but Monza equalised when Gustavo Varela gathered the Mathis Mout through ball and used his body to turn Manuel Akanji, drilling the angled drive into the far bottom corner. Varela had also scored twice on his Coppa Italia debut, so was starting to look like a fine investment.

Inter restored their advantage after the restart, as Samuele Pizzignacco made a mess of punching the Federico Dimarco cross after a corner, allowing Piotr Zielinski to sweep in the rebound from the edge of the area.
Mangas almost caused Josep Martinez to panic with his high press, but Esposito scored a stunner when he met the Diouf pull-back from the by-line with the cheekiest of back-heel flicks at the near post, the only way to score from that angle.
Esposito then contributed an assist, holding up the ball again from Petar Sucic to send Yann Bisseck surging through the middle, beating Pizzignacco thanks also to a slight deflection off a shinpad.

Manuel Akanji almost made it 5-1, his header thumping the crossbar from a Federico Dimarco corner.
