Edin Dzeko was happy with his role in Inter Milan's 2-1 win at Sassuolo on Saturday.

Within 30 seconds from jumping off the bench, the Bosnian had equalised, then he earned the winning penalty, which was converted by Lautaro Martinez.

“We came on to make the difference, because that's what the coach asks of us and we have many talented players who can't all be on the pitch at the same time," Dzeko told Sky Italia.

“When you come on, you must give more than 100 per cent, that's what we did and it paid off in the end.

“I expected to start strong, because I know my qualities and that is why Inter signed me. I always give my maximum, whether I start or come off the bench."
