Inter Milan "perplexed" by referee

Inter Milan director Marco Branca has vented his frustration with the referee in last night's 3-3 draw at Torino.

The Nerazzurri were on course for victory at the Stadio Olimpico, despite playing with 10 men from the sixth minute on due to a red card for goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.

They came undone in the last minute when Nicola Bellomo found the net to snatch a point for the home side, leaving coach Walter Mazzarri so angry that he refused to speak to the press.

"The refereeing left us somewhat perplexed," Branca told Sky Sport Italia. "It was a great game and hard-fought, so it deserved a better refereeing performance.

"We can start from the penalty, then a few free kicks given and not given. We are not contesting the spot-kick, but a yellow card would've been enough.

"It's a shame for the players and the coach after a game like that to drop points, especially after an undeserved defeat to Roma."

Inter are fifth after eight games in Serie A.
