Morecambe 3 Burton Albion 2
Morecambe came from behind twice to seal a thrilling win over Burton.
It was Paul Mullin who earned the Shrimps the points with a header five minutes from time.
Mullin made it two goals in two games since coming back from a knee injury when he converted a superb Laurence Wilson cross to give the Shrimps a confidence-boosting second successive win.
Morecambe had the better of the early pressure with Paul Mullin volleying over from close range and Dave Artell heading a Craig Stanley cross wide.
But the Shrimps were shocked when Burton took the lead on 23 minutes when midfielder Jacques Maghoma was allowed to run on goal and his left-foot shot from 25 yards flew past Barry Roche.
Shrimps were level when Stewart Drummond headed his ninth of the season past Arthur Krysiak from a dangerous Stanley corner.
Stanley then hit the bar with a superb effort from outside the box and forced a decent save from Krysiak before Burton scored a second when in-form striker Harrad made it six wins in eight games after breaking free of Will Haining and Artell to slot home.
