Henry Slade kicked an injury-time conversion to claim a dramatic win over Toulon in the Investec Champions Cup.
The Chiefs took an early lead through an intercept try from Harvey Skinner but Toulon responded with tries from Beka Gigashvili and Ben White.
Replacement Max Norey powered over to give Exeter hope of a dramatic comeback to bring his side back in touch.
Jacques Vermeulen then scored in the last minute before Slade kicked the extras for a memorable win in France.
