Antonio Candreva's superb strike earned Inter a fortunate win over Southampton that eased the pressure on under-fire boss Frank de Boer
Frank de Boer insisted Inter can still progress to the knockout stage of the Europa League following their 1-0 victory over Southampton at San Siro.
The win was Inter's first in Group K at the third attempt and the Serie A side more than rode their luck as Southampton dominated for long periods, created a string of chances and were desperately unfortunate not to earn at least a point.
Antonio Candreva rifled home what proved to be the only goal midway through the second half, but Inter were forced to play out the final 13 minutes with 10 men following the dismissal of Marcelo Brozovic and were grateful to goalkeeper Samir Handanovic for making several stunning saves as the visitors piled on the late pressure.
