Struggling Fylde, without a manager, improved their chances of avoiding relegation with an impressive 3-0 victory over promotion contenders Forest Green at Mill Farm.
The home team took the lead in the 25th minute with a goal from Will Hugill, who pounced on a rebound from a Gavin Massey shot that hit the post.
Harry Davis extended the lead in the second half after a good play from Nick Haughton, who then secured the win with a goal in the 71st minute.
Ending a losing streak of three games, Fylde, being led by interim manager David Longwell following Kevin Phillips' departure in February, climbed two spots to 21st place, just one point away from safety. Meanwhile, Forest Green, managed by Steve Cotterill, remain in third place.
