Quote MessageI think you have to give credit to Exeter - we struggled at the set-piece today and we struggled to get a foothold in the game. But it's round four, there's a long way to go and it's not the end of the world.

Quote MessageThe most pleasing thing for me was that we didn't buckle during the moments of pressure. That's typically where we've failed against Leicester in the past. But today we weathered those storms, and our scrum particularly functioned today.

But Peter Betham is forced into touch, Exeter secure the line-out and Jack Nowell smashes it back out of play to prompt the final whistle.
A first Chiefs victory over Leicester since 2012.

We're into the final minute and Tigers have the ball in hand. They could, at least, still sneak themselves a losing bonus point...

Nonetheless, Gareth Steenson splits the posts to take his personal tally to 19 points and add further confirmation of Exeter's victory.

Exeter 16-6 Leicester
The try won't count because Jack Yeandle was holding onto the foot of Riccardo Brugnara at the breakdown - but the Leicester man then retaliates by kicking out at Yeandle.
So what does all of the above mean? A yellow card for Brugnara and, despite the try being disallowed, a penalty for Exeter.
A bit confused by the outcome? Me too.

And is that the cherry on top of Exeter's icing? Jack Nowell scores - but we're going to the television match official first.
Penalty (Steenson)published at 74 mins
Exeter 16-6 Leicester
Gareth Steenson lands the relatively routine penalty to stretch that lead back to 10 points.
As we march towards the final five minutes, it's Steenson 16-6 Leicester.

Another scrum... Another Exeter penalty! The brilliant scrummaging from their pack may well prove the difference here.
It's right in front of the sticks, so Gareth Steenson will go for goal...
Exeter 13-6 Leicesterpublished at 71 mins
The visitors attempt to run it from their own line, but a couple of knock-ons mean an exhaustive passage of play comes to an end.
We're seeing a replay now of that first offload from Exeter forward Dave Ewers - great work from the big man!

They tick into a 13th phase, a 14th phase... They're up to the five-metre line...
But it's turned over!
Exeter 13-6 Leicesterpublished at 69 mins
The home crowd will certainly feel they haven't seen enough of their side with ball in hand since the interval - but the men in black are into the Leicester half now, two super offloads taking them up to the 22...
Missed penalty (Slade)published at 66 mins
Exeter 13-6 Leicester
No luck for Henry Slade there, however - despite a pocket of cheers from the far side, thinking the England back had landed the kick.
It drifts wide of the near upright and still the margin is seven points.
