Matt Butcher scored twice as Wycombe made it a hat-trick of league wins with a 2-0 victory over Northampton.
The mid-table clash looked destined to peter out into a dour draw before Butcher lit up Adams Park with his first and second league goals for the club.
Home goalkeeper Franco Ravizzoli was the first to be tested as he kept out Tony Springett's effort low to his left.
Louie Moulden denied Freddie Potts a goal to savour from 25 yards after Gideon Kodua headed the ball into his path.
After the break, Dale Taylor was denied by the visiting keeper.

But the deadlock was broken in the 69th minute as Kieran Sadlier took a quick throw to Butcher, who drove into the box and fired into the far corner.
Down the other end, Ravizzoli kept out Kieron Bowie one-on-one.
Butcher's second was even better as he curled home a fine strike, after being found by Sadlier again, with five minutes to go.
