Wasps recorded their first Premiership win on the road in more than a year as they ran in four second-half tries to sink London Welsh.
Gordon Ross kicked four penalties for the hosts before the break, with Nick Robinson responding twice.
Joe Simpson's 49th-minute try got Wasps' spectacular comeback under way.
Scores by Elliot Daly and Will Taylor ensured Welsh would take nothing from the game before Tom Varndell's extra-time try gave Wasps the bonus point.
Wasps' last away win in the league came back in October 2011 in a wretched season that only just saw them escape relegation from the top flight.
But their five-point win takes them to 33 points for the season and equals their total points haul from last term - a mark of their progress since September.
