Josip Ilicic said the key to Fiorentina crushing Inter 4-1 was “pressing and an early goal.”
The Viola earned an extraordinary victory at San Siro to go top of the table for the first time in 17 years.
“We were waiting for this game, which was very important, as we wanted to see what level we were at and what we could do,” Ilicic told Sky Sport Italia.

“It’s still early though and there’s a long way to go. Scudetto? No, it’s far too early. We’ll try to win as many games as possible, then count the points and see where we are.
“We won it above all with the pressing, as if they can’t play it becomes much easier for us. We also scored an early goal, which was crucial to open up spaces.
“Under Paulo Sousa we press a lot more and it becomes more difficult for opponents to get behind us.”
