Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic has said that he finds it "hard to accept" his side's 2-1 defeat against Inter Milan.

The Giallorossi missed out on the chance to move up to second in the Serie A table as Mauro Icardi struck a late winner to subject them to a fourth league defeat of the season.

"It's hard to accept what happens in this second part of the season," Pjanic told Sky Sport Italia.

"We have to try to spin the wheel, you have to take maximum points. It's hard to accept this defeat because we came here looking for the three points.

"There are attitudes that we must change during games. When things go well I do not want to accept it, we must have a great anger to return to winning and be the real Roma that we showed earlier this year."

Roma will return to league action on Wednesday with a trip to Sassuolo.
