Harlequins returned to the top of the Premiership as they shaded Leicester Tigers at Welford Road.
Tries from Alex Dombrandt, Dino Lamb and Tyrone Green saw Quins edge a seesaw first half 17-15 after Tigers had hit back through Hanro Liebenberg and Freddie Steward.
Steward and Will Porter exchanged tries before Handre Pollard's penalty put the hosts back in front.
But Lamb dived over for his second score and Quins held out to win.
A fourth successive win leapfrogged the London side into top spot above Sale, who beat Bristol, while a fourth defeat in five matches keeps Leicester in ninth.
