Coventry City came from behind to win at Burton Albion and move up to second place in League One.
The home side took the lead when Aaron Martin turned Mark Duffy's low cross into his own net but Marcus Tudgay poked home to equalise on 20 minutes.
The Sky Blues went ahead 11 minutes into the second half when Romain Vincelot tapped in from close range,
Brewers forward Lucas Akins forced visiting keeper Lee Burge into a late save before Tim Thiele scuffed wide.
Burton had claimed offside for the winning goal, but replays suggested Vincelot was narrowly onside.
Jacob Murphy's left-wing cross evaded the defence and trickled towards goal after rebounding off Martin, with French midfielder Vincelot touching the ball home from two yards out.
Coventry are now one point behind early season pace-setters Gillingham, with Burton slipping to fifth in the table.

Hasselbaink on Burton v Coventry
"They are a good side, don't get me wrong.
"They did keep the ball quite well. I think we made our own problems and at times we made them look good.
"At times we looked very good and we looked very good going forward and we were strong at times. We created chances but you have to take them.
"We started well but we couldn't sustain it. It wasn't meant to be."
