Stuart Holden scored a dramatic late goal to give 10-man Bolton a 2-1 win over Blackburn just seconds after Mame Biram Diouf appeared to have snatched the visitors a point.
The American drilled home a stunning 88th-minute finish just after the visitors finished celebrating their equalizer by substitute Diouf.
Bolton played with 10 men since Mark Davies' 56th-minute dismissal for an apparent elbow, but they still grabbed a 65th-minute lead through Fabrice Muamba.
And just when Rovers had made their desperate pressure tell, United States midfielder Holden raced on to a neat header down from Kevin Davies to smash his rising shot past goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
Diouf had just equalized but Holden burst forward following the resulting kickoff to half-volley past Robinson from just outside the area.
The American midfielder's second goal of the season lifted Bolton to sixth place and 26 points, just six behind provisional leader Arsenal.
''What I loved was that, having lost an equaliser so late in the game and being down to 10 men, it would be easy to feel sorry for yourself,'' Bolton manager Owen Coyle said. ''But with this group, their first instinct was to go forward and to try to win it, even with 10 men.''
Bolton took the lead shortly after going down to 10 men, bringing on Muamba as a 58th-minute substitute.
Muamba, an England under-21 midfielder, had been on the field for just seven minutes when he cut inside defender Ryan Nelsen to score with a low shot to the near post.
But Diouf, the Senegal striker on loan at Blackburn from Manchester United, made Blackburn's pressure and numerical advantage count in the 87th. Diouf collected a pass from Jason Roberts, held off a defender and lifted the ball over diving goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Holden made sure Blackburn was level for only seconds.
