Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti hailed their character for victory over Sampdoria.

Marcelo Brozovic fired in the winner in the 94th minute.

It was their second last-gasp victory in a week, following the Champions League comeback from 1-0 down to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1.

Spalletti said, “This way of winning shows the character of this team, which keeps fighting for every ball and stays in the game. It might mean taking a few risks, but we are Inter and we must always live on the edge to get a victory.

“Seeing this passion gives me greater strength to go forward and I'm glad that element is here rather than the tactics, as those will come with time.

“We took this issue of character to each and every player individually to make sure it was absorbed the right way."
