Warren Bagnall struck a dramatic last-gasp goal to send Crawley into the second round of the FA Cup for the first time in ten years.
A record 3,907 attendance at the Broadfield Stadium went wild as the home side recovered from 2-0 down with 26 minutes remaining to win with two goals from Nic McDonnell and Bagnall's effort three minutes from time.
The substitute's winner sealed a magnificent comeback by the Reds and sparked a mini-pitch invasion at the final whistle.
Bagnall, 26, who teaches at a school in Crawley, was mobbed by his pupils who were in the crowd after his goal set up a home clash with Dagenham and Redbridge in the next round on December 7.
He said: "I dreamed I would come on and score the winner. I always seem to do it in the big games.
"School is going to be a bit mad now. After the final whistle went all my kids were on the pitch congratulating me.
"There must have been about 60 of them out there. The players are so happy and now we have a great chance at home in the next round.
"Our supporters were superb and they helped us a lot. I was so pleased to get a chance to score.
"I panicked initially but my first touch took the ball past the goalkeeper and although my legs went wobbly I was able to put it in."
