Fiorentina coach Paulo Sousa hailed their amazing victory over Inter Milan.

The Viola edged Inter in a nine goal thriller.

"It was an entertaining match between two sides who like to play the ball and attack. In the end, I think the lads deserved the victory for their performance," Sousa told Mediaset Premium.

Federico Bernardeschi saw his poor dinked penalty saved by Samir Handanovic and was substituted, jeered off the pitch by fans.

“I replaced him because I wanted fresh legs and someone who could give us some of the characteristics that he could not at that moment of the game.

“Bernardeschi is mature, he is an important player in Serie A and has a long way to go so he can become an even better player than he has been so far.

“Unfortunately, I have a bit of a temperature today, so I was unable to celebrate and shout as much as usual on the touchline."
