Player of the Match - Ben Vellacott

Edinburgh scrum-half Ben Vellacott has been named Player of the Match on Viaplay:

"It was a bit of a nail-biter towards the end, eh?

"We want to be an 80 minute team and I think we showed that today. We train for those moments at the end, because we know against a team like Connacht it's going to come down to the wire.

"It gives us confidence. Ali Price's arrival makes the club better. We want to be competitive in all positions - it'll be awesome."

'A huge win'

John Barclay

Former Scotland captain on Viaplay

Edinburgh are playing a brand of rugby that can only grow.

Last year they almost beat themselves in games, but tonight they found a way.

Connacht will be up there at the end of the season - that's a huge win.

Drop-goal Edinburgh 25-22 Connacht

The final kick of the game wins it for Edinburgh!

A brilliant game is won in dramatic fashion, as Ben Healy knocks over a drop-goal with the clock in the red.

Cool as you like.

A scruffy pass from the base of the scrum takes Connacht back into their own 22, and JJ Hanrahan's shanked clearance goes out on the full.

Edinburgh have a lineout 10m out - this is the game...

Chris Dean is wrapped up in contact and Connacht will have a scrum.

Sixty seconds left.

How are the nerves?

Edinburgh have nicked possession back from the restart. Once chance - that's all it is now.

Converted try Edinburgh 22-22 Connacht

Over they go.

The Irish forwards take contact again and again, and Cian Prendergast drives over from close range.

JJ Hanrahan adds the extras and we're all square.

Connacht are up to within five yards of the Edinburgh line.

Massive moments in the context of this game...

Whigfield's Saturday Night booms around the Hive Stadium, as the Connacht physios run some repairs.

Just in case you'd forgotten what day it is.

Connacht are fighting to the end here, and make their way into the Edinburgh 22 again.

This one is going right to the wire.

A big, big, big call from referee Ben Whitehouse, as a scrum penalty goes Edinburgh's way.

It's met with huge celebrations from the home forwards.

That's infuriating for the hosts.

Tom Dodd knocks-on from the kick-off, and now Connacht have a free scrum inside the Edinburgh 22.

Brilliant quick thinking from Ben Vellacott.

Everyone is expecting Ben Healy to kick at goal after Sam Illo is pinged for offside, but Vellacott taps-and-goes and throws a big pass out wide to Mark Bennett.

The centre steps past a despairing tackle to score a crucial try in the corner.

Ben Healy's conversion slides wide.

He's been excellent off the bench, the wee scrum-half.

The hosts are back up to 15 after Pierre Schoeman's 10 minutes in the bin.

Dylan Tierney-Martin is on for Connacht.

You can get a similar double-barrelled name by picking your favourite Scottish defender and the name of an accountant.

Mine's Cooper-Simon.

Joe Joyce has an immediate impact off the bench for Connacht.

It's a great line from the replacement prop, sending two defenders flying, and he dives over to score.

Jack Carty fails to level the scores off the tee, pushing his conversion attempt wide.

Through it goes, and the lead is back to seven.
