Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia has declared himself pleased with his side's 2-0 away victory over Torino on Sunday.

Goals from Diego Milito and Antonio Cassano saw the Nerazzurri pick up maximum points at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin.

"There is a lot of satisfaction here," Ranocchia told Sky Italia. "But I also want to give my compliments to Torino.

"It was important win today because it was crucial not to lose ground against the leaders.

"Hopefully [Juan Jesus and I can become permanent partners]. We are working together, but there are also [Walter] Samuel, [Crisitan] Chivu, [Matias] Silvestre to consider, but together we can play in all competitions."

Inter are currently fifth in the Serie A table with six points from three matches.
