Fleetwood scored a last-gasp equaliser to earn a 1-1 home draw with Reading.
Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu tapped home on the goal line deep in added time after the Royals had taken the lead through Lewis Wing's stunning opener.
After 15 minutes, a Fleetwood ball into the box was nodded on by Jayden Stockley to Promise Omochere whose header was tipped over by Royals goalkeeper David Button.
Reading's Femi Azeez was sent down the right flank after 30 minutes. The winger's cross was too vicious for Harvey Knibbs who headed over from underneath the crossbar.
Fleetwood felt aggrieved after a deep ball to the back post was scrambled goalwards by Omochere. Button lifted the ball from under his body with Town claiming it had crossed the line. Neither the referee nor the assistant thought it was a goal.
Reading opened the scoring when Wing was set up 25 yards out, before curling into the top right corner.
With one more throw of the dice, Sarpong-Wiredu tapped home unmarked at the far post to nick a point for Fleetwood.
