Gennaro Gattuso refused to dwell on the mistakes made by his Italy players after they beat Estonia 3-1.
Mateo Retegui missed a penalty before getting on the scoresheet, while Gianluigi Donnarumma’s glaring error allowed Estonia to score a late consolation goal in Tallinn.
However, the Azzurri continued their perfect start under Gattuso and have now scored 13 goals in three matches during his reign – more than in their first three outings under any other manager.
The win sees Italy move within six points of World Cup qualifying Group I leaders Norway with a game in hand, ahead of their upcoming clash against third-placed Israel.
