Lafferty opened the scoring with a 33rd-minute header but Danny Ventre curled a shot into the corner to equalise on 45.
Stephen McLaughlin headed in on 75, Eoin Doyle levelled with a terrific finish on 79 before Lafferty was sent-off.
McLaughlin shot home after 93 but Doyle levelled again and Richie Ryan missed the vital penalty, Eugene Ferry saving, with McLaughlin's spot-kick sealing Derry's win.
