Inzaghi hails 'exceptional' players

Al Hilal's Italian coach Simone Inzaghi hailed his "extraordinary" team after Monday's stunning 4-3, extra-time win over Premier League giant Manchester City at the Club World Cup.

"We knew we had to do something extraordinary if we were to beat Manchester City, and that is what the boys did tonight, the lads were simply wonderful," said Inzaghi after masterminding the shock of the tournament in Orlando.

"We had to be extraordinary because, well, Manchester City, we all know that team. So, we had to climb Everest without oxygen to win the game, and we made it.
