After waiting for 4 rounds of Serie A matches, Inter striker Thuram Jr. opened his goal account again. In the seventh round of Serie A that ended today, Inter Milan at home faced Torino who had a good start to the season, and finally the Nerazzurri relied on Thuram's hat trick to beat Torino 3-2, winning three consecutive games in all competitions, and with the victory in this game, Inter Milan is currently in second place in the Serie A standings.
As the biggest contributor to Inter's victory in this game, Thuram Jr., who scored a hat-trick, was undoubtedly awarded the Player of the Match award. He also became the seventh France player to score a hat-trick in Serie A, having previously done so in Platini, Djokaeffe, Trezeguet, De Verreir, Veretou and Olivier Giroud.
The hat-trick in this match was the second time in his career that Thuram Jr. had scored a hat-trick. The France striker scored his first hat-trick in his career two seasons ago, when Thuram Jr., who was still playing for Borussia Mönchengladba, scored three goals in a 9-1 win at Auburn in the opening round of the 2022/23 Germany Cup.
Thuram's hat-trick in the game saw two goals coming in the first half, both of which came with headers from the France striker. He also became only the second Inter player to score two headers in the same Serie A game since statistics became available in 2004/05. The first Inter player to do so was former Nerazzurri captain Mauro Icardi, who scored twice with a header against Atalanta in 2017/18.
Including the hat-trick in this game, Thuram Jr. has scored seven goals in Serie A this season, seven goals in seven Serie A games, and the France striker, who averages one goal per game, is the leading scorer in Serie A. If Thuram can continue this good form, winning the Serie A Golden Boot this season is just around the corner.
However, looking back at the pace of Thuram Jr.'s goals after joining Inter, it seems difficult for the France star to continue his heroic performance of scoring every game. The way the France star scores goals can be said to be either not open, open for three years. You must know that in the first round of Serie A this season, Inter Milan away to Genoa, Thuram Jr. scored twice, and then in the third round of Serie A, 4-0 at home to Atalanta, the France striker scored twice. In the first three Serie A rounds, Thuram Jr. had scored four league goals, and in the next three Serie A rounds, the France striker was always out of the scoring until he scored a hat-trick in this round of Serie A.
While there is still room for improvement in terms of scoring goals in consecutive games, the Nerazzurri have benefited from Thuram scoring a brace or a hat-trick from time to time!!
