Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi says patience was key for Wednesday night's 2-0 win against Spezia.

Roberto Gagliardini and Lautaro Martinez struck for Inter.

“It was important match, we approached it in the right way. We put in a solid performance and on Saturday we'll have another tough game," Inzaghi told DAZN.

“We are improving, with this unity and desire, we can grow even more.

“We knew they'd sit deep so, so we needed patience. We must continue like this because Atalanta are playing really well, while Milan and Napoli are going fast."
