Two Sam Baldock headers in a minute helped Milton Keynes Dons come from behind to beat 10-man Swindon Town.
Swindon took the lead against the run of play just on half-time, when Scott Cuthbert outjumped Dietmar Hamann to head in Sean Morrison's long throw.
Baldock levelled from Dean Lewington's cross, then sealed the win a minute later when he nodded in again after Sean O'Hanlon's header was parried.
David Prutton's foul on Baldock earned him a second yellow card late on.
Baldock was handed his first team debut by then Dons boss Danny Wilson as a 15-year-old in December 2005.
The five-foot five Bedfordshire-born striker, now 21, has struck four times in as many games this season.
MK Dons manager Karl Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio:
"I thought we deserved that 100 per cent. I don't think anyone could have any arguments at the end of the day.
"We played very attacking, free-flowing football.
"It's a happy camp, a focussed camp, and it was another foot in the right direction."
Swindon Town manager Danny Wilson told BBC Wiltshire:
"The smallest man on the pitch gets two headers. It's incredible.
"We started to feel we were getting in the game second half but to concede the goals that we did is just criminal and it's cost us again.
"It has got to be a mental thing. It's between the ears."
