Returning hero Gary Collier scored the winner in the dying seconds for Selby Town, who underlined their promotion credentials by snatching all three points at second-placed Eccleshill United.
It was certainly feisty and entertaining top-of-the-table clash. Selby led at half-time thanks to Joe Dale’s close range finish.
That was cancelled out by Eccleshill captain Sam Bradley’s powerful header six minutes into the second half.
Selby regained the lead on the hour with Liam Flanagan netting from a scramble resulting from a free kick.
Eccleshill’s task of levelling began harder when Jonny Irving saw red for a second bookable offence.
However, that did not prevent Eccleshill equalising through Bradley with just a matter of minutes remaining.
But Selby were not to be denied and Collier proved to be the headline grabber.
