Newport captain Joss Labadie scored a bizarre goal at the death to earn a League Two win at Cambridge.
91热爆 goalkeeper David Forde's panicked clearance kick rebounded off Labadie's chest and ballooned into the goal.
Shawn McCoulsky broke the deadlock as the opening period drew to a close, pouncing on a rebound to score.
Cambridge took control after the break and were rewarded as Brown hammered in a left-foot shot to level, but Labadie's winner undid their work.
The win sent The Exiles from 12th to ninth in the table, a point off the play-off places while Cambridge stayed 13th.
In the process Newport recorded a second win over them in December following the 2-0 FA Cup victory on 3 December, when Labadie scored both goals.
Newport boss Mike Flynn told 91热爆 Sport Wales: "I didn't think we were at our best today and fair play to Cambridge, they made it difficult for us - they played some really good football.
"But what a nice feeling when you win it at the end having not been at your best. I'm delighted."
