Juventus goalkeeper Perin blasts Lukaku: We all know you don't celebrate under the curva of opposition team

Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin took aim at Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku after his red card last night.

Lukaku converted a late penalty which saw Inter draw 1-1 at Juventus in the first-leg of their Coppa Italia semifinal. The striker celebrated in front of Juve fans and was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for his actions.

Perin said: "It leaves a bit of disappointment but you have to know how to accept it and until the referee blows his whistle the game isn't over.

"We have to be the first to set an example but in these games it's difficult to hold back. It's a lack of respect to cheer under the curva of the opposing team, it probably wasn't said and the confusion erupted for this."

He added: "The extra-football situation has united us and made us united. Now let's think about the next one, we can concentrate on what we can control."
