Spalletti applauds Perisic and Nainggolan for coming through difficult spells

Luciano Spalletti singled out Ivan Perisic and Radja Nainggolan for their respective performances in Inter's 1-0 win over Parma after both had endured difficult spells.

Inter eased the pressure on head coach Spalletti with the win, which was secured by Lautaro Martinez 11 minutes from time to end a run of three successive Serie A matches without a victory.

Nainggolan, who has not had a great time since joining Inter from Italian rivals Roma in the summer, set Martinez up for the winner, feeding him into the box with a well-weighted through ball.
