Scott Taylor struck a last-gasp winner to lift Milton Keynes off the bottom of League One for the first time since Christmas as they saw off Hartlepool.
Taylor's 10-yard shot with seconds left cannoned in off the inside of the post to leave the visitors in dire trouble.
MK Dons took a first-half lead, Aaron Wilbraham stabbing home Gary Smith's quick free-kick from close-range.
Hartlepool's Michael Proctor lobbed in to level after Matt Baker appeared to have been fouled before Taylor won it.
