Notts County's Vanarama National League play-off push suffered a setback after a 5-1 defeat at Torquay, where Connor Lemonheigh-Evans scored a hat-trick.
The Gulls, chasing a third straight victory, struck twice in the space of five minutes early in the first half through midfielder Armani Little and Welshman Lemonheigh-Evans.
County captain Kyle Wootton eventually pulled a goal back with 16 minutes left.
Lemonheigh-Evans, though, made sure of the points in the 77th minute when he slotted in again from close range and then completed his treble with five minutes to go before Little added a fifth in stoppage time.
