A dramatic injury-time winner from substitute Jemal Johnson kept Milton Keynes Dons at the top of League Two.
But it was the hosts who went in front as midfielder Richard Butcher headed his eight goal of the season.
The goal came against the run of play and after 15 minutes Kevin Gallen set up Mark Wright to level the score.
Colin Cameron struck a post with a flying header as Dons threatened and it was the visitors Dons who snatched the win as Johnson scored in injury time.
