Inter Milan coach Spalletti sympathises with Napoli after late Lautaro winner

Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti had sympathy with Napoli after last night's late 1-0 win.

Lautaro Martinez went on to win the game at the 92nd minute.

“I saw a strong Inter tonight from start to finish. In some ways, we deserved the victory, as we pushed hard," Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

“At the same time, if Asamoah hadn't cleared off the line, we could've lost, as that was a tough situation to get out of. It was more importantly a very entertaining game between two teams who moved the ball with pace, played good football and in a way, both deserved the points."

Lautaro came off the bench and snatched a last-gasp winner just moments after Kwadwo Asamoah's goal-line clearance to deny Piotr Zielinski.

“Lautaro is doing what he has to do. He could've done better in the past, but he took his opportunity coming off the bench today.

Napoli have a squad of absolute quality and move the ball around at 1,000km/h."
