[Tex/LaTex] Reference in table of contents without section number

articlecross-referencingtable of contents

How can I make the Reference visible in the table of contents without numbering it? I use the document class article.
So far I have been using \usepackage[nottoc,numbib]{tocbibind}, but this numbers the Reference like a section.

I have also tried \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{References}, but this doesn't seem to work in a article.

Thanks in advance!

Brute force method with \addcontentsline

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblio.bib}

\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{First}
\blindtext[14]
\nocite{Lam94}
\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Better way with heading=bibintoc method from biblatex (it's easier)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblio.bib}

\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{First}
\blindtext[14]
\nocite{Lam94}
\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]
\end{document}
