Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi was proud of his team’s “mature” performance after they ran out 3-1 winners over Cremonese at San Siro on Tuesday.
Joaquin Correa and Nicolo Barella scored first half goals to set them on the way to victory and Lautaro Martinez added a third with a precise finish, before David Okereke netted a late consolation.
The win for Inter is a positive response after they were beaten 3-1 by Lazio on Friday, and three points move them into second above rivals Milan, who they face on Saturday.
Inzaghi was pleased with his side’s response to the defeat against Lazio, telling DAZN: “I am very happy, we won a difficult match against a team that collected less than they deserved.
“We have one point more than last year, the condition is improving, we know that we will face many matches, we must definitely improve.
“We were criticised after the match against Lazio, against a very strong team, but there was a lot of noise about this defeat, but today we played a mature game.”
When questioned on the significance of moving above Milan ahead of Saturday’s derby, Inzaghi replied: “It means nothing.
“It seems to me too early to look at the standings. Tonight I saw the reaction of a mature team.”
