Inter boss Roberto Mancini has chastised his team for taking their foot off the gas and allowing Celtic to come back into the game last night.
In a match that saw five first half goals, Inter were on their way to winning the first leg of their Europa League round of 32 tie before John Guidetti hammered home a late equaliser for the home side at Celtic Park, making it 3-3.
With three away goals in the bag, Inter will be reasonably confident of qualifying for the next round, but Mancini was not happy with the way his team allowed the Bhoys to get back into the game last night.
The Nerazzurri manager feels his team took their foot of the gas and sat too deep thinking they had done their job, which eventually came back to haunt them as Celtic mounted huge pressure late in the game.
However, the Italian feels a score-draw at Celtic is not the worst result and believes it sets the tie up nicely for the return leg at the San Siro next Thursday.

"If you sit deep against teams like this then sooner or later you're going to concede. We should have tried to hold a higher line. We were tired, though”, Mancini told the club’s official site.
"We got off to a great start in the first half but then we thought the match was over.
“We started playing around and that was our mistake because we let them back into it. That's something we need to improve.
"There's always going to be regret after the way things went tonight, but I don't think 3-3 in Glasgow is a bad result.”
