NOTTS County's protected their proud unbeaten away record in League One as Garry Thompson's last gasp goal snatched a 2-2 draw at Rochdale.
The Magpies had taken the lead just before the break when Mike Edwards lashed home a cross from Elliott Whitehouse.
But that lead was wiped out within 30 seconds of the restart when Ian Henderson converted with a smart finish.
Matt Done then hit the foot of the post as Dale searched for a second goal and Notts struggled to cope with the pressure.
And the seemingly decisive second eventually came in the 64th minute when Peter Vincenti headed in from close range from a wonderful Done cross.
Notts tried desperately to salvage an equaliser as the second half wore on in a bid to protect their unbeaten away record.
Boss Shaun Derry threw on Michael Petrasso and Ronan Murray in a bid to add more attacking threat.
The equaliser finally arrived in the very last second when Thompson slotted in from close range after goalkeeper Josh Lillis laid grounded following a challenge from Murray.
There were a sea of protests from Dale, but referee Scott Mathieson was not interested and allowed the goal to stand.
