Hernanes was proud of his brace for Inter Milan in victory over Lazio.

The midfielder celebrated the double with a backflip and a swipe at Lazio president Claudio Lotito.

"It was the saddest backflip of my career. I didn't want to upset or disrespect the Lazio fans, but I had to do it for Lotito," the midfielder told Sky Sport Italia.

"A while back Lotito said a bit too much. I was on the bench at the time and he said he'd got a bargain by selling me. I really didn't appreciate that.

"It's not my style, but I really wanted to score these goals and see if Lotito still felt the same way about me. The backflip was for him."
