Roma coach Luciano Spalletti branded Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli a diver after last night's 3-3 draw.

Roma were leading 2-0 at half-time and then 3-1 when Balotelli earned a spot-kick as he tried to get between Daniele De Rossi and Marco Motta.

"From the bench it looked as if he dived and now with the replays I have the confirmation of that. With the way we played and approached the match, I think it's obvious we deserved the victory.

"Balotelli threw the ball out there and tried to go where there wasn't a gap, throwing himself down to earn a spot-kick. It's obvious that is not a penalty, it's clear as day," snapped Spalletti.

"The game was over at 2-0, re-opened by Inter with their reaction, but on 3-1 it was closed again without that strange incident there.

"It is entirely obvious, I have come here for four years running and each time the referees are rather unfortunate with us!"
