Promotion-chasing Peterborough produced a second-half turnaround to sink Shrewsbury 2-1.
A shock was on the cards at half-time as League One's lowest scorers led the highest scorers in the division courtesy of Jordan Shipley's opener.
The Shrews midfielder struck with a fine 20-yard strike in the 41st minute after back-up goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne made a series of smart saves to keep out Posh.
Burgoyne's terrific save to deny Ricky-Jade Jones one-on-one in the early stages was the pick of the bunch and even when he was beaten by an acrobatic Ephron Mason-Clark effort, defender Morgan Feeney was perfectly placed to head off the line.
Despite falling behind to Shipley's strike, Posh refused to panic and roared back after the break.

Joel Randall provided a simple finish to a wonderfully-crafted leveller when tapping in a low Jadel Katongo cross in the 51st minute.
And the comeback was complete midway through the half when Josh Knight broke free to head in Harrison Burrows' corner at the back post in the 68th minute.
Randall struck a post with a glorious chance in stoppage time, but Peterborough had done enough to claim the points.
