Mazzarri insists Napoli deserved their victory

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri says they deserved their victory over Inter Milan last night.

The Partenopei emerged 1-0 winners with Lavezzi's goal, although they went down to 10 men after Salvatore Aronica's red card.

"We dominated the first half and forced Inter to focus only on defending themselves. By pushing them into their own half, obviously you need to then finish off the chances, which we did not do. In some ways, we played better than against Chelsea.

"Inter changed their system after the break and we did well to find the goal. I thought Hugo Campagnaro's goal was onside, but looking at the replays the goalkeeper was in front, so it was offside.

"We were strong until we went down to 10 men and I had to make some changes."
