Wycombe remain rooted to the foot of League One after Walsall fought from two goals down to win at Adams Park.
The hosts took the lead when Reading loanee Scott Davies lobbed a free-kick over Clayton Ince and Davies doubled the lead from the edge of the box.
But the Saddlers hit back after the break as Steve Jones slotted in from Matt Richards' pass and then Mark Hughes lashed in a loose ball for 2-2.
Jones then sent Alex Nicholls clear to fire home the winner late on.
