With five wins in the first five games, Inter continue their excellent run under Antonio Conte. The Nerazzurri got the three points at San Siro against a very pugnacious Lazio side, thanks to an header from D'Ambrosio and the saves of Samir Handanovic. Coach Conte analysed the game in the post-match interview with Sky Sport: "We were agressive in the first half, high up the pitch, while they were a bit more cautious and tried to counter attack. Then we scored dropped back and they took adavntage of that. Handanovic was good, he made some great saves in a couple of occasions. In the second half we dominated and solidified our lead"
"It's an important win against a very strong side - Conte continued - In the second half we showed personality in a difficult game. Scudetto? We struggled a bit today, but you don't happen to win 5 games in a row. You can get these wins only with hard work and mentality, which is improving".
