Kevin Hill snatched a last-gasp goal for Torquay to earn them a point in a six-goal thriller with Northampton.
Scott McGleish put the Cobblers ahead with a left-foot volley but Torquay levelled with a Tony Bedeau penalty after Jason Crowe had fouled Hill.
McGleish bagged again when he ran in unopposed after Torquay thought they should have been given a free-kick and Junior Mendes netted to make it 3-1.
But Jo Kuffour prodded home before Hill secured a dramatic late draw.
