Inter needed two late goals to avoid a shock Serie A loss to Siena in the top-versus-bottom clash at the San Siro. Massimo Maccarone's swerving effort fired Siena into an 18th-minute lead, but Inter were level six minutes later when Sneijder found Diego Milito who drilled in.
Sneijder curled in a second from a 36th-minute free-kick but Siena responded immediately as Albin Ekdal ghosted in at the back post to drill in a leveller.
Maccarone scored his second after 65 minutes but Sneijder scored his second free-kick after 88 minutes and Samuel hit a stoppage-time winner as Inter and Jose Mourinho's long unbeaten home records remained intact.
Siena had Cribari sent off as their frustrations boiled over after the final whistle.
Ten-man Roma moved up to fourth in Serie A with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Chievo.
A first-minute header from Daniele De Rossi proved the difference between the sides at the Stadio Olimpico.
But the hosts had goalkeeper Doni sent off in the 11th minute after he handled the ball outside the area after coming out as Elvis Abbruscato charged through on goal.
Chievo were unable to make the most of their numerical advantage and Abbruscato and Luca Ariati wasted chances.
But the Giallorossi should have extended their lead in the 56th minute when Davide Mandelli pulled down Luca Toni, who was making his first start for the club, in the area to give away a penalty.
Chile midfielder David Pizarro stepped up to take the spot-kick but Sorrentino produced a superb save to palm the ball away for a corner, although Roma held on for the win.
