| Nemanja Radonjić of Torino FC after scoring a goal to make it 0-4 before the referee ruled it out for offside during the Serie A TIM match between US Salernitana and Torino FC at Stadio Arechi on September 18, 2023 in Salerno, Italy. |
Serbia forward Nemanja Radonjic has scored either side of halftime for Torino in a 3-0 Serie A win at Salernitana.
The Turin club moved up to seventh place with seven points from their opening four matches.
Alessandro Buongiorno, who took advantage of a scramble in the box to poke the ball past a diving Guillermo Ochoa, put them ahead in the 15th minute at the Stadio Arechi on Monday night.
The hosts started to grow into the match but their momentum was scuppered in the 41st minute, when Radonjic pounced on a loose ball outside the penalty area and smartly placed a shot into the back of the net for 2-0.
Torino maintained their hunger in the early stages of the second half and soon found a third, again thanks to Radonjic who cleverly latched onto a low cross before striking it past Mexican Ochoa.
Paulo Sousa's side, who remain winless with just two points, are one spot above last-placed Empoli. While high-scoring striker Boulaye Dia has returned to Salernitana following an apparent disagreement with the southern club, he again was left off the squad for the match.
Elsewhere, Bologna and Hellas Verona drew 0-0 to remain ninth and 11th respectively.
