Fermanagh reeled off five points without reply to grab a 1-10 apiece draw in this top-of-the-table contest against Armagh at the Athletic Grounds.
The hosts seemed to be in control when Michael Murray fired them into a five-point lead with little over 20 minutes remaining but the visitors refused to give up and snatched a deserved draw thanks to points from top scorer Sean Quigley (3) and Ryan Jones (2).
Jones' equaliser came from the last kick of the ball deep into stoppage time to complete an amazing recovery from Pete McGrath's men, who trailed by eight at one stage in the first half.
With 5,172 spectators engrossed, the Orchard County led by 1-7 to 1-3 at the interval. Michael McKenna supplied their goal in the 22nd minute, while Fermanagh went 21 minutes without a score before Quigley's second point made it 1-6 to 0-2.
Ruairi Corrigan's brilliant goal sortly afterwards gave the away team hope and they finished like a house on fire to leave both teams deadlocked at the top of the table, with seven points each from a possible eight.
