Craig Eastmond's stoppage-time winner consigned the Football League's basement club Gillingham to an agonising defeat at Sutton United.
The visitors were heading for a share of the points until Eastmond's dramatic goal in the third minute of time added on.
Sutton had gone ahead through an Elkan Baggott own goal two minutes before the break, with Robbie McKenzie levelling 12 minutes from time.
The best early chances fell to the away side but Dom Jefferies headed wide from close range from Alex MacDonald's fine cross.
Sutton keeper Jack Rose then beat away a Callum Harriott long-range strike.
Gillingham gifted Sutton a 43rd-minute lead when Baggott turned the ball into his own net after Omar Bugiel headed Eastmond's pin-point delivery back across goal.
Eastmond then went close with a 25-yard effort which flew over.
Mikael Mandron almost levelled when he turned Jefferies' cross just wide but the Gills got the equaliser when McKenzie fired home.
There was a final twist though when Eastmond stunned the away fans with a strike from the edge of the box, but the Gills remain three points from safety after Colchester lost at home against Wimbledon.
