Joe Pigott scored a hat-trick as AFC Wimbledon breathed life into their Sky Bet League One survival fight with a dramatic 4-3 win at relegation rivals Rochdale.
Pigott completed his treble with a stoppage-time penalty to hand the visitors victory.
Dale took the lead after just two minutes, Joe Bunney's free-kick swept home by Ethan Ebanks-Landell.
Anthony Wordsworth struck the foot of the post from the edge of the area before teeing up Pigott who fired a low drive into the bottom corner of Andy Lonergan's net to level the scores after 36 minutes.
Ethan Hamilton restored Dale's lead in the 37th minute when he swivelled away from a marker on the apex of the penalty area before slamming a fierce shot wide of Aaron Ramsdale at his near post.
Pigott netted his second early in the second half to level the scores and the Dons took the lead with a superbly worked goal in the 76th minute.
Pigott was involved again when he backheeled the ball into the path of Wordsworth, who galloped free into the area and side-footed home.
Ian Henderson fired home after Matt Done's shot was parried by Ramsdale after 81 minutes but Pigott clinched the points with a successful spot-kick after Steve Seddon was fouled by Luke Matheson in the 94th minute.
