Simeon Jackson scored his 10th goal of the season as Gillingham recorded a victory over managerless Wycombe.
Josh Gowling headed his first goal for the club to put the hosts ahead but Craig Woodman rifled home a strike from the edge of the area to level.
Curtis Weston restored the lead from close range but Wycombe equalised again when Mark Bentley deflected Woodman's free kick into his own net.
However, Jackson sealed the win with a close-range lob over Scott Shearer.
Gillingham manager Mark Stimson told BBC Radio Kent:
"We knew it was going to be difficult because of what's happened at Wycombe.
"The boys have had some constructive criticism from myself over the past week but they've taken it on board.
"There is no one better at this level, except maybe [Leeds striker] Jermaine Beckford, than Simeon Jackson."
