Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni has praised his side for their performance against Catania in Serie A on Sunday.

Goals from Antonio Cassano and Rodrigo Palacio saw the Nerazzurri win 2-0 at San Siro.

"I am happy with the defensive solidity shown by the side, and our hard work is evident in the recent run of results," he said.

"Antonio Cassano certainly played an important part in the win, but I think it is fair to say that this win represents all the players."

Inter are currently fourth in the league table with 18 points from eight matches, four points behind leaders Juventus.
