Swindon Town produced a fine second-half comeback to beat 10-man Forest Green Rovers in an enthralling local derby in League Two.
A stoppage-time strike from Frazer Blake-Tracy following Dan Kemp's equalising tap-in saw the Robins get their first win of the campaign.
Matty Stevens opened the scoring for Rovers but Harvey Bunker's second-half red card changed the course of the game.
Stevens put the hosts ahead in the 14th minute with a fine finish that nestled into the far corner after Swindon's defence gave him half a yard of space inside the area.
George McEachran almost levelled with a fizzing strike from distance that cannoned off the crossbar.
Experienced Swindon forward Charlie Austin was denied a superb solo goal after a fine chest and volley that was diverted over the crossbar by a one-handed Luke Daniels save.
Austin's headed effort was denied spectacularly by Daniels again but Kemp was on hand to tap home a leveller two minutes into the second half.
And Bunker then picked up a second yellow card following a mistimed tackle in midfield on the hour mark.
Defender Blake-Tracy fired home a left-footed effort from 25 yards in the fourth minute of added time to spark scenes of jubilation in the away end.
