The reigning Serie A champions Inter picked up a close 1-0 win over Roma. After the game, manager Simone Inzaghi had some words of praise for striker Lautaro Martinez.

The Argentine scored for the Nerazzurri, and it was his goal that won the match. He's up for the Ballon D'or, and even Lionel Messi thinks he'll win.

Now that Martinez is back on form in Serie A, Inzaghi was asked about his striker in a chat with DAZN. He said, as reported by TMW, that he hopes Martinez will continue to perform well for both Inter and the national team. I think he's one of the top five players in the world, and I'm happy for him. I'd like to congratulate the whole team on a great performance tonight. We went up against a strong and talented opposition. "Winning in Rome is a big deal."

Inzaghi also mentioned the difficulties in midfield and the injury that Hakan Calhanoglu picked up. He commented: We had a few issues in midfield tonight. Asllani and Zielinski weren't at their best, and Calha wasn't quite on form either. I think he managed to stop in time. We discussed it with the team. Away from home, we weren't getting the results we needed. "It was a tough night for us as a team."

Inter are now back to second in the Serie A table, just behind Napoli, who also won this gameweek. It looks like it's going to be an interesting title race, and we're starting to see who the main contenders are.
