( CNN ) -- Italian champions Inter Milan recorded their fifth straight win under new coach Leonardo , defeating Cesena 3-2 at the San Siro despite the visitors coming back from 2-0 down . Samuel Eto ' o gave the home side a 14th-minute lead when firing in his 24th goal of the season . And , within a minute , Inter had doubled their advantage when Goran Pandev set up Diego Milito to tap home from just six yards out . But Cesena refused to lie down and scored twice within six minutes in a frantic opening 45 minutes . First , Erjon Bogdani was given far too much space to turn and shoot home low into the corner of the net in the 23rd minute . Then , just six minutes later , Cesena remarkably drew level when former Inter midfielder Luis Suarez played the ball over the home defence for Emanuele Giaccherini to volley home . But the first-half scoring was still not over -- and Romanian defender Christian Chivu put the home side ahead once again on the stroke of half time when he burst into the box to head home Maicon 's cross . That was the end of the scoring , but not the chances , and Eto ' o should have added his second of the game after the break but somehow managed to hit the crossbar from just eight yards out . And any chance Cesena had of getting back into the game was finally extinguished when Giaccherini was sent off for a second bookable offence . The result moves Inter up to fourth place in the Serie A table , six points behind leaders and rivals AC Milan but with a game in hand . Meanwhile , Roma are through to the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup after beating rivals Lazio 2-1 in a match marred by crowd trouble . Roma took the lead eight minutes after the break when Marco Borriello scored from the penalty spot after Stephan Lichsteiner 's handball in the area . Lazio levelled just four minutes later when Hernanes also scored from the spot after Mauro Zarate had been fouled in the area . However , Simplicio scored the winning goal 13 minutes from the end , firing home with a well-struck right-foot shot . Police made four arrests before and after the match after trouble between rival fans which resulted in a teenage Lazio fan being taken to hospital with a knife wound to his leg . Sampdoria have also reached the quarterfinals after defeating Udinese on penalties following a 2-2 draw after extra time . The Genoa-based side scored all their five spot-kicks while Argentine striker German Denis missed his penalty as Udinese went out 5-4 .
