Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi: We controlled Inter Milan

Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi insists they didn't deserve defeat to Inter Milan on Wednesday night.

Danilo D'Ambrosio's header proved the winner, with Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic outstanding.

“We did well in the first half and the only thing we really got wrong was not scoring one of our many chances," Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia.

“I don't remember Thomas Strakosha making any saves in the first half and we had three or four big scoring opportunities. There are regrets, because not everyone comes to San Siro and controls the play like this.

“Naturally, in the final 20 minutes we got a bit stretched out and allowed some Inter counter-attacks. We should've been more determined in front of goal, but I cannot complain about the overall approach.

“We are on the right path and emerge with heads held high, albeit with zero points. We're talking about Inter, they are top of the table and won every game so far, but in terms of performance and quality of football, Lazio did better this evening."
