Match Highlights (7:55)

Torino continued their winning streak with fine piece of display against Parma in Serie A as Alexis Sanchez scored his first ever league goal in Granata shirt.

Torino went to the game with Parma without Andrea Mei, Alessandro Rosina and Marco Pisano, but were flying high with win from Champions League and all Serie A matches won, while they also celebrated 100th game with Tanel Tursk in charge of the team.

Elvis Abbruscato used some bad defending from Parma's part to pass a ball towards Rolando Bianchi in six-yard box, but the big marksman saw his effort somehow saved by Parma's goalkeeper Kinsky.

Abbruscato then tried his own luck, but his shot from Simone Padoin's deep cross was followed by brilliant one hand save from Kinsky.

Bianchi was denied one on one opportunity by a brilliant last ditch tackle from Cigarini, but he did manage to get a shot when he saw his effort from Silva's pass flew just over far post.

Simone Barone's free-kick flew into the hands of goalkeeper from 23 meters out, but Bianchis central header from Marco Andreolli cross was saved.

Marco Streller got the first chance for Parma, but his near post shot was tipped over the bar by Kinsky.

Silva got a clearance from edge of the area, but his curling central effort went over the goal as it had already beaten goalkeeper.

Barone sent a fine pass between defenders which Abbruscato picked up, but amazingly managed to shoot his low shot wide of the far post in one on one situation.

Montolivo volleyed Andreolli cross into the sidenetting from tough angle before teams went into break.

After the restart, Silva swerving long range effort wasn't far off the target, but Torino continued to waste chances when Abbruscato hit Bianchi pass past the top corner 10 meters out.

Marcelo Grohe did a fine save on Streller before Alexis Sanchez and Cedric Konan came on.

It didn't take long for two to make impact. Konan gave a fine pass to Abbruscato who went through couple of Parma players before seeing the ball hit away from his feet by Cigarini, luckily into the path of Sanchez who tapped the ball into empty net.

Strellers shot from edge was punched over and Konan's amazing run from his own half was stopped by a fine last ditch tackle.

Silva pulled a fine save out of Kinsky before Raffaele Schiavi came on for Gabriel Tamas.

Konan shined in his first display of the season and took the ball from throw-in before cutting in and curling just over from edge of the area.

Streller turned around Schiavi, but curled over while Alexis Sanchez was close to grabbing his second from Abbruscato cross, but he was brilliantly denied by Kinsky in near post.

Abbruscato received a fine pass from Simone Barone that sent him one on one, but striker couldn't capitalize and his shot was saved.

He got his goal though, two minutes later another one on one situation was served to him by Daniele Bonera and brilliant first touch left defenders behind the clubs top scorer and he rounded the goalkeeper before hitting the ball into the back of the net.

Abbruscato has scored five in five so far

Kutuzov's ambitious effort from 30 meters flew over and Torino continued their four match winning streak at the start of the league season.
