Inter boss Spalletti expects sleepless nights over Derby d'Italia collapse

Luciano Spalletti will suffer sleepless nights after his 10-man Inter side threw away a Derby d'Italia lead and suffered a 3-2 home defeat to rivals Juventus.

Inter came from behind at San Siro despite Matias Vecino's 18th-minute red card following Douglas Costa's opener, Mauro Icardi and an Andrea Barzagli own goal giving them the advantage.

Although Juve were poor in the second period, a Milan Skriniar own goal drew the defending champions level with three minutes to go before Gonzalo Higuain nodded in a Paulo Dybala cross to earn a dramatic victory.

Inter therefore missed the chance to move into the Champions League qualification places but Spalletti said his team's defeat was not a fair reflection of the match.
