Carlisle ended a run of three straights defeats by coming from behind to beat hosts AFC Wimbledon.
The Dons had led early on, Adebayo Akinfenwa converting Callum Kennedy's cross with less than two minutes gone.
Sean O'Hanlon then nodded the visitors level from a Kyle Dempsey free-kick before Akinfenwa hit the crossbar.
Steven Rigg headed Carlisle in front from Danny Grainger's centre and David Amoo sealed the victory on the counter in the closing stages of the game.
AFC Wimbledon are now 13th in League Two, eight points adrift of the play-off places, while the Cumbrians moved up to 21st, a point clear of the relegation zone.
AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley told BBC London 94.9:
"We wanted to take the game to them. We got the perfect start and in the first half we were very good in spells.
"We've got to stop being naive because we've given away a silly free kick, we've then not defended that free kick that's made it 1-1.
"Then we've made a mistake around the edge of our area and been punished for that and then they broke on us very quickly. We didn't have enough balance."
