In the 3-0 defeat of Milan, Antonio Conte felt Inter created an “extraordinary performance”.
“Compliments to our guys, who made an extraordinary performance,” Conte said according to the Goal.
“A very well-prepared match, which they followed perfectly, translating the situations they experienced on the pitch.
“There is satisfaction in seeing the growth of the group and I am happy because the guys deserve to reap the benefits of the work we are doing.”
Thanks to a resounding victory in the derby on Sunday, Lautaro Martinez scoring in each half at San Siro, the Nerazzurri pushed four points clear at the top of Serie A.
It was a case of the best-laid plans coming to fruition for Conte, while they needed Captain Samir Handanovic to make a spectacular trio of saves early in the second half while the score was still 1-0.
At the Serie A summit, Inter moved four points clear, with leading roles played by Christian Eriksen and Ivan Perisic.
Even Conte picked out midfield duo Christian Eriksen and Ivan Perisic for special praise.
