QPR scored twice in stoppage time to snatch a point from a 2-2 draw with Brentford in a west London derby thriller.
The Bees looked home and hosed as they led by two Lasse Vibe goals with 92-and-a-half minutes on the clock.
But substitute Matt Smith headed what looked like a consolation, and Luke Freeman bundled in the unlikeliest of equalisers a minute later.
The fightback was all the more remarkable as Rangers manager Ian Holloway was forced to make do and mend with a defence shorn of six specialist centre-halves through injury.
His patched-up side rattled the frame of the goal as they chased an equaliser and were also denied what appeared to be a clear penalty.
But just as Rangers stood on the brink of a fourth straight defeat they completed a stunning turnaround.
Brentford are now 3/1 with Sky Bet for a top six finish and 10/1 to be promoted, while QPR are 100/30 for a top half finish and 28/1 to make the play-offs.
Match reaction
QPR boss Ian Holloway on the fans who left early and missed his side's comeback: "I was disappointed with our fans and with their fans. I'd like to say to ours, 'You should have stayed'. Everybody who did stay, well done, you deserved that. Don't go home early. You might not have missed your last bus, but you missed a treat.
"For me it feels like a win, for them it probably feels like a defeat. I will fight for this club until I die and so will my team and they did tonight. It feels great. If you missed it you ain't half missed something. And as for their fans, 'Getting sacked in the morning?' I don't think so."
Brentford boss Dean Smith felt Ollie Watkins was fouled in the build-up to Rangers' first goal, and that Jake Bidwell's free-kick which set up the second should not have been awarded: "It was extraordinary. Romaine Sawyers pulled out of a tackle but a free-kick was given and they scored another.
"I'm puzzled to be honest. I will speak the the officials. I'm very disappointed. The referee has got to do better. But we got involved in a scrappy game. We stopped playing football and forgot what we were about."
