Substitute Adam Randell kept his cool to score a 97th-minute winner for Plymouth Argyle on his 100th appearance for the club to beat fellow strugglers Stoke City.
The Pilgrims ended a scrappy game the stronger and got their reward when academy product Randell swept the ball into the bottom corner after Luke Cundle's effort was scrambled off the line.
Up until then it had been a Championship game lacking end product, with both sides showing the fatigue of a third match in the space of a week.
Tyrese Campbell profited from a lack of communication in the home defence to ghost in and slot Stoke ahead, with Mustapha Bundu steering home a leveller for Argyle from Kaine Kesler-Hayden's low, fizzed-in cross from deep.
