Huddersfield came from 2-0 down to defeat Yeovil and climb to the top of League One.
Dean Bowditch's volley Put Yeovil in front, with Paul Huntington hooking in a free-kick to double the advantage.
Scott Arfield's volley began the comeback before Jamie McCombe headed in the equaliser from a corner routine.
McCombe's run and shot gave the hosts the lead before Gary Roberts sealed the points from the penalty spot after Luke Ayling had handled.
But the outcome could have been so different for the Terriers, who were two down in just 15 minutes.
Bowditch slammed home a volley, and Gavin Williams' free kick set up ex-Leeds defender Huntingdon to shock the home side early on.
But Huddersfield's hero came in the unlikely shape of gangly centre-back McCombe, who inspired the home side to victory.
First, Gary Roberts and Graham Carey worked a corner which allowed him to equalise, and then McCombe took centre-stage as he went on a mazy solo run and smashed home to send the Galpharm Stadium into raptures.
Scott Arfield have earlier given Huddersfield hope early in the second half with a superb volley after Yeovil failed to clear a Roberts free kick, and after McCombe's brace, Roberts put away a penalty himself to complete the comeback.
Huddersfield Town manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds: "We haven't started the game well, we gave Yeovil the initiative and they've scored two decent goals.
"But as I said to the players at half-time, we created enough in the first-half to believe that we could win the game.
"The start of the second-half was vital for us. We had to change the system because we didn't handle the extra man in midfield again."
Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton told BBC Somerset: "We were very good in the first-half but in the second we went against all of our principles in the way we pass and play and we melted under their pressure.
"We're getting closer, we've gone from being absolutely shocking away from home to now having 45 minutes where we can play well.
"We can't keep conceding four goals, it's killing our goal difference and it keeps sucking us back into the relegation spots."
