Romelu Lukaku was the MVP of the game, each Italian sport media rate 8 the performance of the former Manchester United striker.

Ashley Young was Inter’s worst player on the pitch, according to Italian papers. Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport rate him 4.5, Gazzetta dello Sport 5.

The Englishman struggled and was ‘in confusion’ trying to control Torino winger Wilfried Singo who he fouled inside the box giving Torino a penalty kick that Cristian Ansaldi eventually converted giving the Granata a double lead.
