Wes McDonald scored a sensational late winner as Walsall came from behind to beat fellow mid-table outfit Crawley 2-1.
With the clock on 88 minutes, a jinking McDonald cut in from the left to whip a stunning strike over Crawley keeper Glenn Morris from the corner of the box and in off the bar.
The visitors had led for much of the game after Panutche Camara pounced on poor Walsall defending to bury his first goal of the campaign past Liam Roberts from 15 yards in the 27th minute.
Ashley Nadesan should have doubled Crawley's lead early in the second half after carving through the Walsall defence but his finish was anticipated by Roberts, who saved well down low.
Walsall levelled after 72 minutes, Josh Gordon surging into the area before drilling a fine finish past Morris into the bottom corner from 15 yards.
McDonald's magic won it, although Crawley could have salvaged a point moments later but Ollie Palmer glanced a free header wide from Josh Dacres-Cogley's cross.
