Rotherham boosted their promotion hopes with victory over 10-man Lincoln.
Adam Le Fondre fired the Millers ahead from the spot after being brought down by Moses Swaibu in the penalty area.
Swaibu saw red for the foul and Gary Roberts looked to have put the game out of sight when Roberts side-footed home after a quick counter-attack.
But 20th-placed Lincoln staged a late fightback and grabbed a consolation when Steve Lennon scored his first goal for the club.
Lincoln City manager Chris Sutton told BBC Lincolnshire:
"Obviously the penalty was a big incident, there was a coming together but I certainly didn't think it was a sending-off.
"We went down to 10 men but we did the right things. You have to have the courage to play and I felt we were unlucky at the end, we had a good shout for a penalty ourselves when Chris Herd went down but that's the way it goes.
"Eventually, one week we will get a break or two but I'm proud of the players' effort and I don't think they could have done any more today."
Rotherham United manager Ronnie Moore told BBC Radio Sheffield:
'I thought it was a good game, I thought there were times when we played really well and there were other times when we tended to give the ball away to easily.
"Give them a bit of credit down to ten men and hanging in there, they fought for it.'
