Joe Low scored an injury-time winner as Wycombe Wanderers came back from behind to defeat Bristol Rovers 2-1 at the Memorial Stadium.
The Chairboys went into the contest unbeaten in their last four league games whilst the Gas had lost four of their previous five in the division.
However, it was the West Country outfit that looked more threatening.
It was a very quiet opening 15 minutes for both teams, but Ruel Sotiriou, Gatlin O'Donkor and Scott Sinclair worked well to create some promising moves for the home side.
And two minutes later, the latter scored to give the Pirates the lead.
A poor goal kick from Franco Ravizzoli led the ball to Sotiriou who played in Sinclair.
The former Chelsea, Manchester City and Celtic man found himself one-on-one with the keeper, before slotting it past him from eight yards.
It was his first strike of the season and his first in five months.
Wanderers offered very little in what was a very poor first half, but they did show signs of promise in the final stages of the opening 45, as Cameron Humphreys and Garath McCleary created several half chances.
The second period saw a different Wycombe come out as they began to bang on the Bristol door.
The introduction of Bez Lubala and Fred Onyedinma (his fourth Wanderers league debut), for David Wheeler and Richard Kone added some much-needed pace to the Wycombe front line.
Josh Griffiths in Rovers' goal was on hand to deny both subs with their respective efforts, but he could do nothing about Wanderers’ equaliser which was something straight out of the top draw.
A great ball by Aaron Morley found Dan Harvie just outside Rovers' box.
He drifted in, cut inside on his weaker right foot and bent in a terrific effort that flew past Griffiths and into the top-right corner.
It was a fantastic way to score your first goal for your new club.
Wanderers continued to look for a winner as Josh Scowen went close, whilst, at the other end, Jamie Lindsay’s attempt went wide of the mark.
But the drama continued because, in the final minute of six added on at the end of the game, Harvie’s corner was headed in by Low in front of the travelling away fans.
It was his first strike of the season, and it’s the second campaign in a row that the ex-Bristol City man has got on the scoresheet against the Gas.
The result means Wycombe made it five unbeaten in the league, whilst Rovers made it six without a victory.
The win also means Wanderers are now unbeaten in their last eight against the Gas, winning on seven occasions.
Finally, Chairboys boss Matt Bloomfield has won each of his four matches versus the Pirates since taking over in February 2023.
Up next is Barnsley away on Tuesday night.
Attendance: 7,814 (631 away)
