Swindon Town lost ground at the top of League One despite coming from behind to draw at Yeovil Town.
James Hayter gave the hosts an interval lead with a composed finish, but could later have been sent off after tussling with Yaser Kasim after being booked for a challenge on the Swindon midfielder.
However, Swindon's Andy Williams curled in a leveller against his former club.
And Swindon held on after captain Nathan Thompson was shown a second yellow card with 12 minutes to play.
Yeovil manager Gary Johnson told BBC Somerset:
"We certainly got what we were looking for, a first half especially full of competitiveness and will to win, and that's the least that we had to show.
"Second half they went a little bit quicker forward and we couldn't quite shut them down as much, and I would have liked us to have been a little more assured on the ball.
"We've brought in an organiser at the back, and although he's only young Ryan Inniss, he says it in a way that people listen.
"It was very important that our back four played how we wanted them to play, but of course we're disappointed drawing one all from being 1-0 up."
Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper told BBC Wiltshire:
"First half, we weren't fluent like we usually are.
"Full credit to Yeovil, they've watched us play and tried to stop us playing, but we have to try and be better than that when teams do that to us.
"Second half, I felt we were outstanding and dominated the game. We could have won the game.
"We're a little frustrated we've not won with 10 men."
