Simone Inzaghi admits he’s ‘very angry’ with Inter Milan following defeat to Sassuolo

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has admitted that he is “very angry” with his team following their 2-0 defeat to Sassuolo at San Siro. The Nerazzurri went behind after only eight minutes when Hakan Calhanoglu lost the ball in midfield and Giacomo Raspadori rifled home from just inside the area.

They conceded again midway through the first half when Gianluca Scamacca connected with Hamed Traore’s curling cross into the box and thundered a header past Samir Handanovic via the inside of the post. Ad/> Inter huffed and puffed as they tried to find a way back into the game, with Milan Skriniar, Ivan Perisic, Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko – the latter having come off the bench at half time – all passing up excellent opportunities to score.

Inter remain second in Serie A, two points behind AC Milan with a game in hand after their city rivals could only muster up a 2-2 draw with rock-bottom Salernitana on Saturday.

Their grip on the Scudetto now seems significantly weaker, however, with Napoli only a point behind them in third and unbeaten in six league games. Given that Sassuolo have already beaten Juventus and AC Milan away from home this season, Inzaghi was understandably frustrated that his players had failed to see the upset coming.
