Roma coach Ranieri frustrated after Inter Milan draw

AS Roma coach Claudio Ranieri was left frustrated after their 1-1 draw with Inter Milan.

Stephan El Shaarawy struck first for Roma at San Siro, but Ivan Perisic's diving header pegged them back.

“We came here trying to win, which is what I always want from my teams. We could've countered better in the second half, as we were too pinned back and on three or four occasions Inter were smart to foul and stop us getting up the other end," Ranieri told Sky Sport Italia.

“Ultimately, the draw is a fair result. We knew it would be tougher in the second half, because Inter scored more goals after the break than any other team this season.

“We held out well, had our own chances and proved we're here. After Radja Nainggolan, Matias Vecino was the man we had to follow around and block from making runs. We had talked about it, Bryan Cristante was meant to track him, but didn't on this occasion."
