Fede Dimarco and Alexis Sanchez struck for Inter.

Farris said: It's down to the quality of the lads. We set out the ideas and the sheet music, but then it is up to the players to perform it and they do it very well.

The tactics are working very well, the mobility of our defenders, but also the ability of the midfielders to cover the spaces when the defenders go forward, that is all teamwork."

Lautaro Martinez drew another blank, but Farris said: He was the last to arrive back from international duty, had the longest journey, he is our captain and is always at our disposal, but he can be allowed a little fatigue. It's true that he hasn't scored, but the work that he and the other forwards do to help the team is essential."

Francesco Acerbi started the game amid his Juan Jesus controversy and Farris added: Clearly, the coach makes the final decision. Francesco returned, there was a tumultuous few days and when he told us that he absolutely did not use a racist phrase, we all stood with him.

I will also add that I've known Francesco since his days at Lazio, he's a good guy and is anything but a racist. It was a nasty incident, we hope it is behind us and we can go back to only talking about football."
