The fastest try in British top-class rugby helped Wasps to a turbulent victory over Harlequins. The visitors conceded a try after just nine seconds as England wing Tom Voyce re-wrote the record books.
But Quins hauled themselves back with a Will Greenwood try and 11 points from the boot of Jeremy Staunton.
But their dismal finishing meant they did not deserve to end what is now a 10-game losing streak and Wasps pushed themselves up to second in the table.
Wasps chief Warren Gatland was measured in praise of his team.
"It wasn't the greatest game of rugby, but you go through the season and sometimes you just need a win to keep the momentum going.
"One team out there was used to winning and the other one wasn't."
The defeat leaves Harlequins winless, but Wasps coach Shaun Edwards said: "If they're the worst team in the league, then it must be a strong league."
