Six different goalscorers and an inspired Alexis: Inter vs. Brescia, all you need to know

MILAN – The Nerazzurri’s 6-0 victory over Brescia brought with it an array of impressive statistics. Here’s a summary of the best stats from our win, in collaboration with Opta.  

• Six different Inter players found the net (Young, Sanchez, D’Ambrosio, Gagliardini, Eriksen and Candreva) for the first time since our win over Reggina in November 2003: on that day, the goalscorers were Cannavaro, Martins, Van der Meyde, Farinos, Cruz, and Vieri. Lots of players hit the mark, but this is nothing new for Conte’s Inter (click here).

• The last time that Inter won by a margin of six goals was in March 2017, in our 7-1 win over Atalanta.
