Exeter overturned Leicester 35‑26, with Olly Woodburn scoring two tries to keep the hosts from climbing to second in the Gallagher Premiership. Henry Slade’s last‑minute penalty stopped a second comeback, but Exeter’s victory keeps them safely inside the play‑offs.

The match hinged on Woodburn’s early brace, forcing Leicester to chase the game. Slade’s three penalties and three conversions kept the scoreline tight, yet Exeter’s four tries outmatched the Tigers’ three.

Leicester’s loss ends their unbeaten home run and removes the chance to secure a home semi‑final. Exeter, three points clear of Saracens, will face the fifth‑placed side at Sandy Park to decide the final play‑off spot.

Exeter’s win leaves Leicester’s season intact but their title bid stalls; fans now turn to the Saturday clash to decide who joins the top four.
