REDDITCH United suffered a 3-2 defeat against play-off rivals Quorn as all five goals came in a frantic opening 25 minutes.
United twice took the lead courtesy of goals from Fabian Reynolds and Dexter Dudley-Toole at Farley Way.
However, Finn O’Boyle and Ryan Beswick twice restored parity for the home side before Simeon Cobourne put Quorn ahead.
The result means Redditch sit fifth in the Southern League Premier Central table, one point clear of the chasing pack in the race for a play-off spot.
Redditch broke the deadlock after just four minutes when Reynolds lashed a shot into the roof of the net from Liam Loughlan’s through ball.
However, Quorn equalised on 14 minutes as O’Boyle fired an effort into the left corner of the goal from Billy Kee’s lay off.
United reclaimed the lead two minutes later when Dudley-Toole rose highest to head in Reece Flanagan’s corner from the left.
Quorn drew level for a second time on 18 minutes as Beswick scored from the penalty spot after Harrison Mole fouled Cobourne in the box.
And the home side turned the game on its head four minutes later when Cobourne’s diving header trickled into the bottom left corner after O’Boyle’s initial effort came back off the crossbar.
Redditch are next in action against Stamford on Monday, December 15 with kick-off at 7.45pm at the Valley Stadium.
