Harrogate slipped to bottom of Sky Bet League Two after they extended their winless run to 13 games with a 1-0 loss at Accrington.
Stanley struck from the penalty spot in the first half and Town were reduced to 10 men with Jacob Slater sent off after the break.
There were half-chances in the first period before the deadlock was broken from the penalty spot in the first minute of added time by the home side.
Referee Declan Bourne adjudged Warren Burrell had clipped Shaun Whalley and the winger dusted himself down to send James Belshaw the wrong way.
Just after the restart, Belshaw was superb at denying Isaac Sinclair, Alex Henderson and Seamus Conneely in quick succession.
It got worse for Harrogate when defender Slater was shown a straight red for a high boot on Sinclair after 59 minutes, with manager Simon Weaver also booked in the aftermath.
Accrington looked to make the game safe, but the 10-man Harrogate battled valiantly with Mason Bennett unlucky to see his 90th-minute effort hit the side-netting.
