Two tries from Ollie Sleightholme helped Northampton beat Harlequins in a Franklin's Gardens thriller to win a fourth Premiership match of the season.
He top and tailed Saints' evening, with tries in between from Lewis Ludlam, Alex Mitchell and Alex Coles.
Quins scored the opening try of the night from wing Cadan Murley before Jack Walker, lock George Hammond and Will Evans kept them in the game.
But it needed Nathan Jibulu's late try to earn a losing bonus point.
