Inter Milan coach Inzaghi: We were great for victory over AC Milan

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi says victory over AC Milan was fully deserved.

Lautaro Martinez scored the only goal of the game.

Inzaghi said, "It was without doubt a great performance, I congratulated the lads. They were determined, concentrated, focused, we absolutely dominated and winning the derby twice in 20 days was something we wanted to share with our fans.

“Now we look forward with confidence, we have Lukaku and Brozovic back after four months, despite missing them we still reached the Champions League knockouts, the Coppa Italia semi-final and are second in Serie A.

“To be honest, there was talk for a few days that Milan might shake things up, so I concentrated on my own team and our shape. We played very well against Atalanta on Tuesday, I reiterated to the team that it all depended on what we did and how we approached it."

On Lautaro, Inzaghi said: “For the last 12 months, Lautaro has played at extraordinary levels with such consistency. I wasn't even able to rest him, due to Lukaku and Correa injuries. However, talking just about him is reductive, because today the whole team was dominant and a pleasure to watch.

“The only negative was that we dominated and still left it open until the end with a one-goal lead. We could've been more precise in the finishing and the final ball, but after all we did come off a tiring Coppa Italia quarter-final with Atalanta on Tuesday."
