Inzaghi praises Milan derby officials

Inter felt aggrieved not to have a penalty in Sunday's Milan derby, but opposite coach Filippo Inzaghi believes the decision was a fair one.

Filippo Inzaghi backed referee Luca Banti's decision not to award a penalty against Milan's Luca Antonelli in Sunday's derby against Inter.

In a match that produced few clear-cut chances at San Siro, there was a flashpoint in the second half when Hernanes' effort struck the arm of Antonelli in the penalty area.

The decision not to award a spot-kick attracted the ire of Inter head coach Roberto Mancini, who felt Banti should have pointed to the spot.
