Key Takeaways
- Marcus Thuram has scored in five straight matches for Inter Milan.
- The French striker put Inter ahead against Parma as they chase the Scudetto.
- His knee-slide celebration failed when he fell face-first on the pitch.
Marcus Thuram maintained his excellent form in front of goal on Saturday evening. The Inter Milan forward scored against Parma, making it five consecutive matches with a goal for the French international.
The Nerazzurri started the match knowing that a draw would secure the Serie A championship. They hold a comfortable lead over Napoli, who sit second in the table.
Thuram struck during added time at the end of the first half. Midfielder Piotr Zieliński supplied the through ball, and the striker finished clinically past the Parma goalkeeper.
This strike marks his sixth goal across his last five league appearances. The home fans at the San Siro roared with delight as Inter took the lead.
However, the celebration did not go smoothly. Thuram attempted to slide on his knees across the grass, but the pitch surface was too dry. He lost his balance and fell forward onto his face.
The former Borussia Mönchengladbach attacker laughed off the incident. He then spotted the club’s social media team filming near the touchline and gave them a special wave.
Inter now stand just one point away from winning the Scudetto. Avoiding defeat in this fixture will confirm them as champions of Italy.
