The son of the Capital city has quickly become a fan favourite, especially after his game-changing substitute appearance in the derby against Lazio, complete with back-heel flick goal.

“It was a bit reckless, as if the ball had gone wide, then many wouldn’t have forgiven me,” Pellegrini told Sky Sport Italia and Roma TV.

Inter and Napoli have avoided any sanction for fans setting off flares, after demonstrating they did everything in their power to prevent it.

There are strict liability regulations in force in Serie A, meaning each club is responsible the behaviour of their own fans.

The Giudice Sportivo found that both Inter and Napoli fans set off “pyrotechnic material of various kinds” in their respective matches though “exclusively in their own section”.

Leonardo Semplici felt “even a draw with Inter would’ve been disappointing, let alone a defeat” after a passionate SPAL performance.

The hosts will feel they deserved at least a point out of this match, as they missed a Mirco Antenucci penalty, dominated the second half and forced several saves.

Nonetheless, it was a fourth consecutive defeat for the Spallini and a sixth straight win in all competition for Inter.

Mauro Icardi scored both Inter goals, even if the first took a big deflection off Johan Djourou, meaning SPAL’s equaliser lasted only five minutes.
