Torino made a stunning debut under new Coach Walter Mazzarri, sweeping Bologna aside 3-0 with Salvatore Sirigu saving a penalty.
The former Napoli, Sampdoria and Watford tactician had only 48 hours to prepare for this match, so didn’t change predecessor Sinisa Mihajlovic’s 4-3-3 formation.
They dominated from start to finish and Lorenzo De Silvestri broke the deadlock with a towering header from Alex Berenguer’s free kick.

Bologna thought they’d equalise when the referee awarded a penalty, having originally booked Simone Verdi for simulation before he viewed the incident again on VAR, but Erick Pulgar’s spot-kick was brilliantly saved by Sirigu.
Instead, M’Baye Niang doubled the Toro lead with a great solo effort, then Iago Falque completed the rout by nutmegging Giancarlo Gonzalez.
