Derby goalkeeper Stephen Bywater secured the Rams a point after a superb late double save in a draw with Bolton at Pride Park.
First Bywater dived to parry Christian Wilhelmsson's drive before somehow recovering to tip Nicolas Anelka's fierce follow-up onto the underside of the bar and deny fellow strugglers Wanderers a priceless victory.
Kenny Miller had given the home side a 19th-minute lead in a ragged and nervy tussle between the division's bottom two before Anelka's fortunate 32nd-minute equaliser, which took a heavy deflection off Claude Davis.
With Jussi Jaaskelainen also on top form at the other end to deny Miller a second goal, Bolton boss Sammy Lee will ultimately have breathed a sigh of relief that his side avoided defeat and possibly safeguarded his job in the process.
