Inter Milan seems just fine without Romelu Lukaku and Edin Dzeko. Marcus Thuram was involved in both goals as Inter won at Claudio Ranieri's Cagliari 2-0 on Monday to join defending champion Napoli, AC Milan and Hellas Verona as the only Serie A clubs to win their opening two matches. There was concern among Inter supporters after Lukaku's latest loan spell from Chelsea ended and Dzeko departed to leave the Nerazzurri without a center forward.

The France forward — the son of former Parma and Juventus defender Lilian Thuram — threaded in a precise through ball to set up Denzel Dumfries' opener and then was also involved in the buildup to a goal from Lautaro Martinez on the half-hour mark.
