Benitez offers no excuses after dismal Inter Milan defeat

Inter Milan boss Rafa Benitez struggled to find positives in their 3-1 defeat at Lazio. The Nerazzurri crashed 3-1 at the Olimpico last night and could slide down to mid-table by the time this round is over.

"The only positive was the second half reaction and the way the team went looking for a goal," said the Coach.

"Lazio played well, but at the end Ivan Cordoba's chance could've made the difference. We wanted to control the game and find a balance, but they took the lead thanks to a marking error on a dead ball situation.

"Before that, Lazio didn't have great chances. It all went their way. Thiago Motta is still not 100 per cent match fit, so on the counter-attacks we were struggling because he lacks pace."
