Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte was happy with their 2-2 draw against Roma.

Milan Skriniar and Achraf Hakimi struck the goals for Inter in the thriller.

Conte said afterwards, “I think it was a good game, also in the first half. Don't forget Roma have our same targets, they are just three points behind us, they sit third in the table. It was not easy to play this kind of game here.

“I think there was a bit of anxiety to get an important result. We told the players to continue to press, because sitting deep is not a good thing. Roma had nothing to lose and tried to push ahead, it's normal.

“We have our own identity and we always prove it. Fonseca said it yesterday, we are a difficult team to stop. Other coaches recognise it, not everyone does.

“We often concede goals because we press too high and we leave too much space behind us. We've allowed so many games on the counterattacks this season.

“On the one hand, it can help you to score, on the other hand you can become more vulnerable if you make mistakes.

“Don't forget we must have the strength and energy to do certain things, I've always used the same XI in the last few games, it's normal to lose energy in the final minutes."
