Inter Milan striker Alexis Sanchez was delighted to score in last night's Coppa Italia quarterfinal win against Roma.

Alexis and Edin Dzeko struck for the 2-0 triumph.

“We know that we played better in the derby, but that was a lesson to show we must always be wide awake," Alexis told Sport Mediaset.

“We're confident as a team. Everyone knows Roma are strong and they showed that on the pitch today."

He added: “I always want to play, I've always said the more I play, the better I feel. I want to do what is best for the team, but the fact remains it's difficult to play only 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there."
