Fleetwood forward Jordy Hiwula and defender Amari'i Bell fired Town to victory at League One basement side Plymouth Argyle.
Hiwula pounced on a defensive slip by the hosts to fire Fleetwood ahead.
Bell doubled the Fishermen's lead in stoppage time with an angled drive from the left, before substitute Alex Fletcher bundled in a last-minute consolation goal for Plymouth.
It took a superb off-the-goal-line clearance from Argyle central defender Ryan Edwards to keep out Hiwula's first-half effort after he cleverly clipped the ball around goalkeeper Kyle Letheren.
Away goalkeeper Alex Cairns had to be on his toes to palm over Gregg Wylde's dipping 30-yard strike in the first half.
Hiwula struck to break the deadlock and nearly made it 2-0 with a thumping first-time shot that flew inches over the bar from Devante Cole's cutback cross from the right.
Plymouth had their chances, notably with playmaker Graham Carey's 20-yard free-kick forcing a full-length save from Cairns at the start of the second half.
