Huddersfield Giants scored two late tries to take a huge stride towards Super League survival with a thrilling win over play-off chasing Hull FC.
Giants trailed to a Jamie Shaul try in the corner despite a bright start, but England winger Jermaine McGillvary and Aaron Murphy crossed for the visitors.
Bureta Faraimo's score out wide had Hull ahead at the break.
But a gutsy Giants display was rewarded inside the final 15 minutes, Louis Senior and Matt Frawley both crossing.
Huddersfield's win leaves them two points clear of bottom two Hull KR and London Broncos with two games still to play, but having played a game more than their rivals.
