Leonardo Bonucci praised the team spirit of 10-man Italy as they fought to a 3-1 World Cup qualifying victory in Israel.
Giorgio Chiellini was sent off only 54 minutes in, but the Azzurri held out and added a third goal with substitute Ciro Immobile.
“If you fight as a Team, if you play as a Team, if you defend as a Team, if you celebrate as a Team… then you win as a TEAM,” wrote Bonucci on Instagram.

“Tonight we proved that. Well done guys.”
The Juventus defender had missed the 3-1 friendly defeat to France and was expected to be ruled out of this match too after taking time out to nurse his infant son through an illness.
