Melbourne City came from behind to beat leaders Brisbane Roar 3-1 and usurp them at the top of the A-League on Friday.
Dimitri Petratos had given the visiting Roar a first-half lead with a stunning left-footed strike from outside of the penalty area.
The match turned, though, when Josh Hingert was given a second yellow card on 54 minutes for tugging back Bruno Fornaroli and conceding a penalty.
Nick Fitzgerald then sealed the victory three minutes later as he headed in a rebound after Fornaroli's free-kick had cannoned off the crossbar.
The win, City's fourth in five games, puts them top of the table on goal difference, while John Aloisi's men – who have now lost three straight away games – slip to third.
