Hernan Crespo was the hero for Inter Milan yesterday but the Argentinian striker has announced he will leave the club in the summer.
The 33-year-old struck the equaliser to earn the Nerazzurri a point against Roma in the exciting 3-3 draw.
The result allowed Inter to remain seven points clear of second-place Juventus with 12 games remaining.
"After a difficult year, it's great to have scored such an important goal," admitted Crespo. "Things don't happen out of coincidence.
"That goal is the result of my daily hard work.
"But in June, without a doubt, I will change team.
"At this point it has become clear to me that this is the only solution as facts speak louder than words."
Crespo, whose contract with Inter comes to an end in May, has been frustrated with his lack of playing time under coach Jose Mourinho.
The former Chelsea player has earned just one start in a total 10 league appearances for the Nerazzurri this campaign.
"I always accept the coach's decision," he said. "It's not my style to create problems.
"I am a serious professional, who works 24 hours a day and who gives his soul to reach his aims."
