MILAN (AP) — New Inter Milan signing Hakan Çalhanoğlu scored one goal and set up another as the Nerazzurri got their Serie A title defense off to a winning start with a 4-0 win at home to Genoa. Çalhanoğlu set up Milan Škriniar’s early opener and doubled Inter’s tally in the 14th minute. Arturo Vidal effectively sealed the victory in the 74th before Edin Džeko opened his league account for Inter in the final minutes. Inter also hit the crossbar and had a goal ruled out. There were also opening-day wins for fellow title hopefuls Lazio and Atalanta.
