Defender Alessandro Bastoni admits Inter Milan “need to kill games off sooner” after another 3-2 win, against Torino.

The 25-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, after the Serie A clash.

For the second weekend in a row, Inter have won by a 3-2 scoreline.

The Nerazzurri had prevailed by the odd goal in a five-goal thriller against Udinese last time out.

And this time, Inter won by that same scoreline against Torino.

The Nerazzurri certainly dominated this evening’s match against the Granata. That is hardly a surprise considering that they played with a numerical advantage for more than three quarters of the match.

And Inter managed to get the goals they needed to win.

A hattrick from Marcus Thuram was enough to get the job done for Inter.

But the Nerazzurri needed all three of the Frenchman’s goals to take three points. They twice conceded.

As had been the case against Udinese, both the goals that Inter allowed were the result of carelessness.

First, the Nerazzurri switched off immediately after they’d scored their second. The Nerazzurri backline was a mess as they allowed striker Duvan Zapata to equalize right after Torino had restarted play.

Then, Inter conceded a penalty late on. This was the result of a late challenge by Hakan Calhanoglu on Adam Masina, but also of the entire Inter team shape allowing the Torino defender to run straight through them,

“We absolutely needed to make it easier after making it 2-0,” Inter defender Bastoni admitted.

“We weren’t able to. But we did well to bring it home in the end, which was what’s important.”

And of the goals that Inter have been conceding in recent matches, Bastoni said that “I can’t tell you why.”

“We have these little moments where we switch off. And we pay for it, and it would be important to kill of games sooner.”

“We’ll work on our defensive attention over the next few weeks,” Bastoni said.

“Our strength last season was that we never underestimated anyone. And we have to follow that path.”
