Milan Skriniar admits Inter didn’t put in their most beautiful performance against Juventus, but ‘it’s still a great feeling to win even when you don’t play that well.’
It was a fiery Derby d’Italia in Turin, decided by a Hakan Calhanoglu penalty in first half stoppages.
Wojciech Szczesny had originally parried, but it was retaken due to encroachment and the Turkey international converted at the second time of asking.
Denis Zakaria saw the best chance at an equaliser fingertipped onto the upright by Samir Handanovic.

“It’s possible we are lacking sharpness compared to the start of the season, but it’s important and still a great feeling to win even when you don’t play that well.
“We knew how crucial this result was, as now everything remains wide open.”
