Serie A: Antonio Conte's take on the game
Addressing the Italian media after the match, Antonio Conte claimed it to be a tough and important victory against a strong Lazio side. He said that it was not at all an easy win for Inter. Handanovic made two fine stops to deny Lazio forward Joaquin Correa, maintaining Inter’s lead going into half time.
