Brentford beat fourth-bottom Ipswich 4-3 in a thrilling clash in west London.
Ipswich's Sam Szmodics produced a fine finish from 15 yards in the 28th minute before George Hirst clipped a composed strike past Mark Flekken three minutes later.
But Yoane Wissa netted in the 44th minute and Harry Clarke's own goal seconds later hauled Brentford level.
Bryan Mbeumo's 51st minute penalty, awarded for Clarke's foul on Keane Lewis-Potter, put Brentford 3-2 up.
Capping a miserable day for Clarke, he was sent off in the closing stages after fouling Lewis-Potter to earn a second booking.
Liam Delap's 86th minute equaliser appeared to have spared Clarke's blushes, but Mbeumo snatched victory with the last kick of stoppage-time.
