Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi hailed the performance of Samir Handanovic for victory at Sassuolo.

Inter came back from a Domenico Berardi penalty to beat Sassuolo 2-1 with Edin Dzeko scoring and earning a spot-kick.

Inzaghi felt his goalkeeper was the difference for the 2-1 win.

“I think Handanovic was excellent here, in the save on Jeremie Boga too," he said. "I heard things about a goalkeeper I consider to be extraordinary.

“He completely ignored the ball and did everything possible not to touch his opponent, so I think it was the right decision. His save on Boga then was just remarkable."

Inzaghi added: “Playing every three days, I had to rotate the squad. There were players who came off and didn't deserve to be replaced, but I saw a lot of tired players and we needed to give that extra boost in that moment.

“Initially, I had thought about three, but I needed more of a forward push. It was our seventh game in 20 days, we are constantly travelling or playing, so I knew these four and their fresh legs would really help."
