Lazio fights back from 2 down to win in Serie A

Lazio pulled off a stunning second-half comeback against lowly Cesena in Serie A, recovering from two goals down to win 3-2 despite playing for nearly an hour with 10 men on Thursday.

Adrian Mutu gave Cesena the lead then debutant Vincenzo Iaquinta fired home a spot kick following an incident which also saw Lazio defender Abdoulay Konko sent off.

However, Lazio surged back in the second half with three goals in 10 minutes, from Hernanes, Senad Lulic and Libor Kozak.

Lazio moves provisionally into third place, ahead of Udinese which faces second-placed AC Milan on Saturday. Cesena remains second from bottom, four points off safety.

Meanwhile, Siena beat Napoli 2-1 in the first leg of the Italian Cup semifinals. The second leg will be played on March 21.
