INTER Milan made amends for some terrible defending as it came from two goals down to win 3-2 at Catania in the Italian Serie A on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Francesco Totti became Serie A's joint second-highest overall scorer when he converted a penalty in AS Roma's 3-1 win over Genoa.
Inter, without striker Antonio Cassano following a dressing-room row, trailed 0-2 after 20 minutes but in one of the season's most dramatic fightbacks, halftime substitute Rodrigo Palacio scored twice, including a stoppage-time winner.
Inter's win took it level on 47 points with Lazio in fourth place, one behind arch-rival AC Milan which is in the Champions League qualifying round spot. Juventus leads with 59 points followed by Napoli on 53.
One-club man Totti, 36, opened the scoring with a 16th- minute penalty, drawing him level on 225 goals with Sweden's Gunnar Nordahl who played for Milan and Roma in the 1940s and 1950s. He is still way behind Silvio Piola's mark of 274.
Piola played for Pro Vercelli, Lazio, Torino, Juventus and Novara from 1929-54.
Although Marco Boriello replied with another penalty three minutes before halftime for Genoa, second-half goals from Alessio Romagnoli and Simone Perrotta sealed Roma's win.
