Sutton boosted their survival hopes and put a dent in Notts County's promotion bid with a thrilling win at Meadow Lane.
The visitors took the lead in the sixth minute when Stephen Duke-McKenna's cross found Ryan Jackson at the back post.
But the Magpies responded quickly when Macaulay Langstaff saw his effort handled in the area. He dusted himself down to score the spot-kick.
However, Aden Baldwin's under-hit back-pass presented Harry Smith with a run on the County goal and he took the opportunity for his 11th goal of the season.
Dan Crowley levelled just after the half-hour mark, looping in a header from Jodi Jones' teasing delivery to end a pulsating first half.
Olly Sanderson's first goal of the season regained the lead once more for Sutton, only for Crowley to level again with a superb finish from outside the area.
But it was Crowley's outstretched leg that saw Charlie Lakin tripped inside the area late on and the midfielder stepped up to secure Sutton's second away win of the season.
