Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi was delighted with their 1-0 win against Bologna.

Yannick Bissek struck the winner for Inter - his first goal for the club.

We are very happy, because we honoured the birthday of Inter with a very important victory," Inzaghi told DAZN.

We maintain the gap from those who are following us, we fully deserved the lead in the first half, then Bologna proved why they are in their current position. We started to feel some fatigue and thoughts wandered over to the games that we have coming up."

It was a very unusual goal to see two central defenders combining for the goal from open play, but this is how Simone Inzaghi adapts the 3-5-2 to be a very attack-minded formation rather than simply a five-man defence in disguise.

It's normal to see goals from wing-back to wing-back, but to see a centre-back assist a centre-back is very satisfying for me and my staff. The lads are doing something extraordinary, but we know there are another 10 rounds to go."
