Liam Noble's injury-time free-kick handed Notts County a dramatic League Two win over a resilient Luton Town.
Izale McLeod headed in Graham Burke's cross, and added a classy finish to put County in charge.
But Cameron McGeehan's back-post strike and Jonathan Smith's 20-yard effort drew the visitors level.
Scott Cuthbert saw red for a professional foul on McLeod before Noble lashed in an unstoppable 20-yard free-kick in the third added minute.
Luton manager John Still told BBC Three Counties Radio:
"I thought we played OK in the first half, we were a bit unfortunate to be behind.
"Second half we got killed early on at 2-0. We kept playing our football, kept attacking and we got back in it.
"Two goals away from home should get you something from the game, but our defending is disappointing."
