What happened. Inter went 2-0 down at Roma through a Manu Koné brace, the fourth straight game they trailed by two, before Lautaro Martinez struck twice to salvage a 2-2 draw. Cristian Chivu said he told his players exactly what he thought at half-time, but kept the details private.

• Chivu said his half-time words 'remain between me and the players'.
• Inter have conceded nine goals in their last four competitive games.
• Inter stay top on 13 points, level with Roma.

“Certain things remain between me and the players.”

— Cristian Chivu

Inter remain top on 13 points with Roma, but could be joined by Como and Lazio by the end of the weekend.
