Mike Brown scored a decisive try as Leicester beat his old side Harlequins to stop them going top of the table.
Tigers' Handre Pollard kicked a penalty and converted a Jasper Wiese try before Quins hit back through Nick David trail by only three points at the break.
A Jack Walker score edged Quins ahead before Brown crossed under the posts.
Another Pollard penalty proved key, as Jarrod Evans failed to convert a last-gasp Tyrone Green try that would have won it for the hosts.
