Taremi converted a penalty and provided two assists, including one for Arnautovic, asﷺ Inter overwhelmed the visitors and for🍸ced them into costly errors at the back.
Their success came through an energetic pressing game from T🍒aremi in particular, with Inzaghi keen to give the pair an opportunity to start ahead of Lautaro Martínez, who came off the benc♑h to score, and Marcus Thuram.
"The lads were𒈔 good, they played a serious game against a team that came to play a purely defensive game," Inzaghi told Sky Sport.
"Apart from a 🦄couple of counter-attacks that we could have read better and the first five minutes of the second half, everything went well."
He singled o🍌ut Taremi, 32, and Arnautovic, 35, for praise, adding: "They are giving it thei🌃r all, I have to make decisions game by game.
"They deserved this opportunity and took advantage o🦄f it very well.
"We have two strikers who are playing mo🉐re, Thuram and Lautaro, but the season is long. Arnautovic and Taremi are two pl♛ayers that I wanted here.
"I am satisfied with how they work ღdaily (in train🅷ing) and they must continue like this."
Martinez's goal, meanwhile, was hi🐟s 13th in the Cha𒁏mpions League for Inter.
Only Adriano (14) has ever scored more in the competition for the c🃏lub.
After drawing 0-0 with Manchester City in their opening game, Tuesday's victory was another step in the right direction for Inter, who have not had the greatest sta♛r⛎t to the season in Serie A.
"We wanted this victoಌry to follow up the performance in Manchester. We have to continue in this direction. I got the answers I wanted, I'm satisfied," Inzaghi said.
Inter are unbeaten across their last ten Chamꦓpions League games at San Siro (W8 D2), eight of which have been accompanied by a clean sheet. They have never recorded a longer such streak in the competition before (since the format started in 1992-93).
