Conte: England draw 'fair result' for Italy

Antonio Conte was content with Italy's 1-1 draw with England on Tuesday night.

Graziano Pelle opened the scoring for the Azzurri with a 29th-minute header at the Juventus Stadium in Turin before Andros Townsend levelled for the Three Lions ten minutes from time.

After the match, Conte spoke of the result and suggested it suited the performance of his side despite their supremacy in the opening 45 minutes.

"It was a fair result," he said.

"We were playing against a top side with very good players.

"We must not forget England had won seven matches (in a row) before they came here."
