It was a case of cometh the hour, cometh the man for Torquay United as substitute Ashley Yeoman netted the winning goal in their relegation battle with Bury in injury time.
Captain Lee Mansell had given the Gulls the lead when he headed home a Dale Tonge cross on eight minutes, with his first goal since New Year's Day 2013, but Clive Platt levelled for the Shakers on 66 minutes.
Torquay almost regained the lead a minute later when Aussie defender Aaron Downes headed a Danny Stevens corner narrowly over.
However, inside the first minute of four extra added on minutes for injury time, Yeoman- who has spent most of the current campaign on loan at Bideford and Dorchester- pounced from eight yards to score the decisive goal that leaves the Gulls five points from safety.
It was Yeoman's first appearance since he returned from his most recent loan spell with Dorchester, and he picked the perfect opportunity to score what was his first goal for Torquay of the current campaign.
The win is a welcome boost for Chris Hargreaves' side- following the announcement that Joss Labadie won't be appealing against his ten-match ban for biting Chesterfield's Ollie Banks- and if they can secure another three points again Newport County on Saturday, then things will become very interesting at the bottom of the League Two table.
