Rovers battle back to snatch the points late on
Late goals from Jeff Hughes and Chris Lines completed a stirring Bristol Rovers fightback as they beat Carlisle 3-2 to bring to an end a run of six straight defeats.
Lines bundled home the winner from an injury-time corner to send home fans into ecstasy after Hughes had equalised with a measured left-footed chip on 83 minutes.
The visitors took a 20th-minute lead when Ian Harte volleyed in Graham Kavanagh's corner but Jo Kuffour fired home a 34th minute equaliser from close range.
Rovers looked to be heading for a seventh successive defeat when Richard Keogh headed in on 71 minutes but Hughes and Lines ensured it was the hosts who emerged smiling.
Carlisle will feel hard done by after looking the better side for long periods.
Rovers were indebted to goalkeeper Mikkel Andersen for two early saves from Vincent Pericard and the Carlisle striker will feel he should have scored on both occasions.
