Shola Ameobi scored the only goal as Notts County took another step towards survival in League Two thanks to a 1-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park on Saturday.
Both sides traded chances in a frantic opening to the match with Jon Stead forcing a brilliant save from Jamal Blackman, before Luke O'Nien blazed over from seven yards.
The midfielder was then denied a goal by a terrific block by Richard Duffy.
It proved a crucial intervention as Kevin Nolan's charges scored from their next attack when Ameobi rattled home via the post, following some brilliant work by Stead just before the half-hour mark.
Wycombe tried to claw their way back into the game and could have drawn level when Adebayo Akinfenwa volleyed wide of the post.
The hosts then appealed for a penalty when Myles Weston went down in the box but referee Ross Joyce waved play on as the Magpies held on to claim all three points and go 13 points clear of the bottom two.
