Yeovil saw off Notts County in the League Two relegation battle at Huish Park to move nine points clear of the rock-bottom Magpies.
The division's worst defence conceded early once again as Tom James was quickest to react to Jake Gray's corner to the near post and glanced his header beyond Ross Fitzsimons.
Notts were presented with a great opportunity to equalise when, under pressure from Jon Stead, goalkeeper Nathan Baxter punched a cross straight to Elliott Hewitt, but with the goal beckoning, he blazed it over from 10 yards.
The visitors then went even closer when Pierce Bird's header rattled the woodwork as Baxter again failed to deal with a cross to the far post.
The Glovers finally confirmed the victory in stoppage-time when Mihai Dobre pounced on a poor back header from defender Ben Barclay, rounded Fitzsimons, and knocked the ball into the empty net.
