The win over Bologna also brings a disciplinary consequence for Marcus Thuram. In addition to the yellow card shown by Doveri, he has been fined €2,000: the Italian league’s disciplinary judge has punished the Inter striker for pretending to have been fouled in the opposition penalty area.

The incident occurred in the match on 17 October, around the hour mark: the Frenchman went down after contact with Matteo Darmian. The referee turned down the penalty appeal and booked Thuram, prompting protests from the striker and Cristian Chivu. That incident, already a talking point after Inter’s victory, has now resulted in a fine.
