MILAN - Inter Milan put their heart and soul into Sunday's home game against AS Roma, according to manager Simone Inzaghi, but it wasn't enough to stave off a third defeat in a week which threatens to derail their season.

A 1-0 loss at the San Siro followed Inter's Coppa Italia exit after a 3-0 semi-final second leg defeat by AC Milan on Wednesday, and from a treble-bid, Inzaghi's side risk ending up with nothing to show for their troubles.

A second successive league loss, after last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Bologna, means Inter are level on points with Napoli who can open up a gap at the top when they host Torino later on Sunday.

"This week we come from three defeats which hurt, but the squad tried with great lucidity," Inzaghi told DAZN.

"In the first half we put our hearts into it, the fans saw that. Unfortunately, a very important game lost at home, but the embrace of our supporters made us happy, despite defeat.

"In the second half we put our soul on the pitch as always and they will always have my gratitude. We deserved more, but this is football."
