Garath McCleary scored twice as Wycombe made it three away wins on the spin with a 3-1 victory at relegated Carlisle.
It has been a fine week on the road for Matt Bloomfield's side, who have secured nine points from a possible nine to stretch their unbeaten league run away from home to five games.
Joe Low knocked Luke Leahy's deep cross back across goal for McCleary to open the scoring in the 15th minute.
The lead barely lasted five minutes as Jon Mellish's cross bounced across the box and Alfie McCalmont was on hand to level for the hosts.
Wanderers restored their lead four minutes after the restart as teenager Richard Kone bundled the ball home from close range after hesitation in the box.
McCleary finished off the game with 15 minutes to go as he completed a team move with a fine header. Kone's deft flick allowed Kieran Sadlier to race away on the left before Leahy put the ball on a plate for McCleary's second.

Excited for the close season and what Matt can achieve in 24/25
He deserves to reap the benefits of "New Owner Investment" this summer and into pre-season.
You could well be smiling this time next year, and, anticipating another crack at the 3rd Division. Keep the faith, 'the darkest part of the day, is, just before the dawn !
In Simmo I trust.
