Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini was delighted with Mateo Kovacic's goalscoring performance in victory over Cagliari.
Kovacic and Mauro Icardi struck the goals for Inter in their 2-1 win.
"I am happy with his performance and an important goal," said Mancini.
"He's a good lad and deserves it. Of course I can only play 11 from the start and so many deserve to be in there. It's tough to make too many changes when the team hits form."
