KIDDERMINSTER Harriers stunned hosts Kettering Town with five goals in the last 26 minutes to win 5-3 in National League North.
The old rivals met for the first time in the league since 2012 and Kettering looked like cruising to victory after going two goals up.
But Town did not bargain on a stunning comeback from a spirited Harriers side who made it 2-2 and 3-3 before romping away with the three points.
Top scorer Ashley Chambers scored twice to make up for his open-goal miss in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Chester.
Kettering started strongly and went ahead on 18 minutes through a far-post header from a corner by Sam Cartwright.
Harriers continued to struggle from flag-kicks and Lindon Meikle delivered to the near post with Joe Skarz's outstretched left leg sending in the second goal on 57 minutes.
The fightback started on 64 minutes with Chambers clinically heading past keeper Paul White from Sam Austin's right-wing centre.
Harriers equalised six minutes later when captain Cliff Moyo nodded home a corner which had been forced by Ed Williams.
But Kettering regained the lead on 73 minutes as Connor Kennedy diverted the ball into the bottom corner at the far post.
Just one minute later Richard Peniket nodded in Williams' free kick from out wide to level again with his first goal since signing in the summer.
And midfielder Milan Butterfield put the visitors ahead for the first time two minutes from the end with a deflected volley from the edge of the area.
Harriers made the points safe one minute into injury-time with a looped finish from Chambers who intercepted a stray Kettering header.
