Paul Mullin's late goal gave playoff chasers Morecambe a thrilling victory over Burton Albion.
Burton took the lead through Jacques Maghoma's drive but the Shrimps levelled five minutes later when Stewart Drummond headed home.
Shaun Harrad drilled the visitors ahead before Phil Jevons scored from close range to make it 2-2.
Mullins' header five minutes from time settled a stunning match in which both sides struck the woodwork twice.
Burton boss Paul Peschisolido told BBC Radio Derby:
"I'm disappointed. We got what we deserved: nothing. We were very poor today.
"We didn't pass well, we didn't defend well, we didn't close down well enough and because of that we got zero.
"Collectively we were poor today. I think it was a difficult game, they put us under a lot of pressure but I would have expected more."
