Bonny Shines as Inter Cruise Past Cremonese to Go Top
Inter Milan extended their winning streak to five matches across all competitions, delivering a dominant 4-1 victory over Cremonese at the iconic San Siro. The night, however, belonged to one man — Angelo-Yoan Bonny.
Making his first-ever start for Inter, the 20-year-old forward produced a headline-grabbing performance, scoring once and providing three assists in a display that sent ripples across Serie A. Under the guidance of head coach Cristian Chivu, the Nerazzurri not only grabbed the three points, but also climbed to the top of the Serie A standings.
Lautaro Martínez opened the scoring in the sixth minute, finishing off a slick move involving Nicolò Barella and Bonny. The youngster then doubled the lead himself in the 38th minute, rising above the defense to nod home a pinpoint cross from Federico Dimarco.
After the break, Inter continued to dominate — particularly exploiting the left flank. In the 55th minute, Dimarco added his name to the scoresheet with a thunderous long-range strike, and just two minutes later, Barella made it 4–0 after yet another assist from Bonny.
The only blemish on an otherwise flawless performance came in the dying minutes when a defensive error by Brahima Diouf allowed Fabrizio Bonazzoli to pull one back for the visitors on the counter-attack.
