Bath Rugby were left heartbroken at the AJ Bell as Arron Reed crossed in the 80th minute to steal a win for Sale Sharks.
The hosts raced into a 22-3 first-half lead before Niall Annett dived over on the stroke of half-time.
Jonathan Joseph and Ben Spencer completed a miraculous comeback for the Blue, Black and White which looked to be enough, however Sale went wide in the final play of the game with Reed getting the crucial five points.
