Ayr United soared to the top of the Second Division table after a stunning second-half fight-back snatched them a dramatic win over Arbroath.
Kevin McMullan fired home from 12 yards midway through the first half.
The hosts came to life after the break and Ryan Stevenson ran from his own half and held off three defenders before firing home a sensational goal.
Ayr piled on the pressure, but it was not until six minutes from the end that Bryan Prunty fired in from 12 yards.
