Controversy in Inter's victory, Inzaghi: It wasn't a penalty for

Inter recorded an important victory over Fiorentina, with a score of 2-1, in a challenge that was also not without controversy.

The team from Florence had claims to the first goal of the black and blues, as the corner kick came from an action where the ball crossed by Bastoni had gone outside the end line.

In this case, VAR could not intervene, because it was a pre-goal action and everything was considered legal for the home team.

Inter had claims about Fiorentina's penalty, after Darmian touched the ball with his hand, but according to the locals, it was an involuntary touch and the ball was going out, while the distance was very close.

Coach Simone Inzaghi also spoke about this, and was not spared from the referees' decisions.

"Fiorentina were upset, just as I was upset with Leverkusen for a goal conceded from a free kick. The penalty awarded does not exist. It should never have been given.

"In Bastoni's case, the ball had gone out of bounds, but VAR could not intervene. Darmian's distance to the handball was 1.5 meters and VAR intervened. For me it is a penalty that does not exist. I also think that VAR should not have intervened," he said.

Further, Inzaghi also focused on the victory, saying that it was a match played very well by his team.

"Together we won an important match. We have tried to recover in the last few days, to work hard and not pay attention to what people said about us. The players showed determination. It was not easy, because Fiorentina defended in a block and on Thursday they punished us.

We took the lead, but the opponent equalized with a penalty. After our second goal, we played carefully with counterattacks.

"We have come a long way. We are playing well in the Champions League. We are also doing well in the championship, like the other teams. We played an excellent match, as the statistics prove," declared coach Inzaghi.

With this victory, Inter moves to second place with 54 points, just one point behind leaders Napoli.
