The Viola were trailing, then leading and conceded a last-gasp Manolo Gabbiadini penalty.

“Fiorentina are ready always, we just have to believe in ourselves,” the Coach – who was suffering from toothache – told Mediaset Premium.

“We need to be ourselves and tonight we always believed. There was a wonderful team spirit, but also moments of excellent football.

“We played against a side with great quality too, so it was a joyous game for anyone who loves football. The two teams on the field were exemplary, it’s just a shame that I feel we deserved something more.”

Lorenzo Insigne opened the scoring with a magnificent curler, but was just offside.

“These things happen. We must all improve and also help the referees to improve. We had a great comeback and deserved to win.”
