Dundee United roared back from behind to win at Queen's Park and maintain their one-point lead at the Scottish Championship summit.
Beaten by closest challengers Raith Rovers last weekend, United found themselves behind again when Ruari Paton turned in his 17th goal of the season midway through the first half.
But the hosts turned the game around before the break as Louis Moult sent a superb free-kick into the top corner then Jordan Tillson headed in a Tony Watt cross.
Glenn Middleton completed the comeback victory late on with a strike from inside the box.
A first defeat in four games for Queen's Park leaves them eighth, now just a point clear of Inverness Caley Thistle.
