Sheffield United staged a late turnaround to win 2-1 away to Bristol City and go second in the Championship, one point behind leaders Sunderland who play on Wednesday.
The game started slowly, with the hosts not opening the scoring until a 75th-minute Anis Mehmeti penalty after a foul on Sinclair Armstrong by goalkeeper Michael Cooper.
The Blades showed great character to haul themselves back into the game, with 18-year-old Ryan One scoring the equaliser in the 86th minute.
But things went up a notch in stoppage time when Robert Dickie was given a straight red card for a cynical foul on Callum O'Hare 35 yards out.
The drama wasn't finished yet and with seconds to go, Harrison Burrows smashed home a left-foot rocket to win the game for the Blades.
At the bottom of the table, Plymouth opened a four-point gap between themselves and the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory over bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth.
The victory means that Wayne Rooney's side have dropped just two points in their last five games at Home Park, having lost six on the bounce in all competitions away.
It is now four without a victory for Portsmouth, who have earned just nine points in their opening 14 matches back in the Championship.
Elsewhere, Middlesbrough responded to their 3-0 defeat at home to Coventry City last weekend by beating second-bottom Queens Park Rangers 4-1 on the road.
That was a first victory in three for Michael Carrick's side, who are one place below the play-off positions and trail only by goal difference.
QPR are four points behind fourth-bottom Preston North End, having failed to win any of their last 10 league games.

Guardiola 'so proud' of Man City despite Palace draw
Pep Guardiola saluted Manchester City's fight and insisted he is "so proud of the team", despite them dropping more points in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
City were forced to come from behind in each half at Selhurst Park, where Erling Haaland and Rico Lewis cancelled out efforts from Daniel Munoz and Maxence Lacroix.
The reigning Premier League champions are now winless in their last four away games, while they have won just one of their last nine matches in all competitions.
City sit fourth in the table and eight points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand after their scheduled Merseyside Derby against Everton was postponed due to adverse weather conditions.
Nevertheless, Guardiola paid tribute to his players.
Assessing the performance, he said: "Really good. So proud of the team. I liked everything about the team, how we fought. We have a lot of problems with our squad.
"We fought incredibly. We came back twice. It's a difficult place to come. We struggled in the beginning. We gave everything, and we take a point.
"We started the second half a bit sloppy. After [going 2-1 down], we reacted well."
However, Bernardo Silva could not hide his frustration at City's recent poor form.
"With Man City it's always two points lost," he told BBC Sport. "One point is better than zero, but we're not happy at the moment. We know our situation with injuries.
"Coming to Crystal Palace is never easy, but we have to do better. When I finish a game and I get a point, I'm not happy. It's not the way we built this team, it's not our standard.
"We have to do better, we have to react better to the second balls. We have to give them less opportunities from set-pieces.
"We're in December. We'd like to be in a different position. The last month-and-a-half has not been good enough."
Meanwhile, Palace moved up to 16th after extending their unbeaten run to four matches, and Oliver Glasner felt the Eagles were unfortunate not to take maximum points.
"We are pleased with the point and many parts of the performance," he said. "It feels like if we'd performed at our best level, we could have won the game.
"An unbeaten week with draws against Newcastle and Manchester City, everything is fine. We want to improve and get better in some situations, and we could win those games.
"After having the lead twice, especially after 2-1, we got too passive. It's not that easy against City, it's not a criticism of the players, but when you're in your own third, it's a matter of time. A gap of one yard, they find it with one or two touches.
"The players are in a very good situation and shape. We have more and more options. The results give us confidence."
Real Betis 2-2 Barcelona: Stoppage-time goal denies hosts victory
LaLiga leaders Barcelona continued their sticky run of form with a 2-2 draw away to Real Betis on Saturday, having conceded a stoppage-time equaliser from Assane Diao to drop two points.
Diao's goal gave Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini something to celebrate in his 500th LaLiga match as manager, but opens the door for second-placed Real Madrid, who are five points behind Barcelona with two games in hand.
Hansi Flick's side opened the scoring in the 39th minute with a neat attacking move that was created by Lamine Yamal and finished by Robert Lewandowski.
Betis came into the contest more in the second half and were able to level things through a Giovani Lo Celso penalty, but Yamal once again thwarted the hosts by setting up substitute Ferran Torres to score in the 82nd minute.
Barcelona had looked on course to extend their lead at the top of the table before Diao's cheeky backheel flick meant that the points would be shared.
The draw means that Barcelona have now won just one of their last five league games.
Data debrief: Red-hot Lewandowski not enough to claim a win
Lewandowski opened the scoring with his 23rd goal in 21 matches in all competitions this season, which was also his 16th in LaLiga.
The 36-year-old is five goals clear at the top of the Golden Boot standings, with Barcelona captain Raphinha in second.
The striker is now just five goals short of his total in all competitions last season.
