Diego Farias, the substitute of Lecce was sent off the field after only 14 minutes following his reckless challenge on Antonio Candreva and Nicolò Barella.
Conte said, “There was a spark tonight but now we must aim to become dynamite. We started well with the right intensity and the desire.”

Lukaku was signed in the team near the start of this month for a contract of 65 million Euros and also 13 million Euros for bonuses. Following his goal, he bowed down to his fans.
Conte said Lukaku has made it into the Inter as the best possible way, the great humility. He is a kind giant with a big smile on his face. He is ready to work really hard for the team.”
