Inzaghi believes Inter deserved win against Napoli
Simone Inzaghi was proud of Inter's second-half performance but believes it should have come away with all three points from its 1-1 draw with Napoli.
He had previously never missed a penalty in Serie A, netting 17 in a row.
"I congratulated the team, if there was one side that should've won, then it was Inter. The second half was dominated by us," Inzaghi said. "We went behind on a set play situation where we should've done better, but we kept our heads and did not allow Napoli practically anything.
"We hit the woodwork twice, missed a penalty, so I don’t know what more we could've done."
While Inter dominated the second half, the strike duo of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram were largely kept quiet.
"They worked hard for the team and kept us solid," Inzaghi said. "As a coach, I have to leave the result aside and focus on the performance, which was excellent against a quality opponent."
With nearly a third of the Serie A season completed, the title race is shaping up to be tight with Napoli leading the way on 26 points. Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter and Lazio, meanwhile, are all on 25.
"I said this would be a very balanced campaign and that is proving to be true, but I saw a wonderful Inter tonight," Inzaghi said.
"We could probably have made more of our chances, but let us not forget the strength of the side we were facing."
