Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte was delighted with Lautaro Martinez after their 2-1 defeat of SPAL.

The Argentine scored both goals for the win.

Conte enthused: “We were determined today and knew Juventus had dropped points, so were prepared to make the most of the situation.

"We deserved to beat SPAL and it's important to remember we are focused on our own growth process, which is in full swing, so we're not trying to compare ourselves with others.

“Lautaro – we call him Lauty – used to live for the goal, but I was very clear with him that the top strikers are the ones who work for the team, who track back in defence and seek each other out. Romelu Lukaku, for instance, didn't score today, but he was constantly involved."
