Exeter Chiefs moved back into the top four of the Premiership after beating leaders Northampton Saints for the second time this season.
Phil Dollman's try gave the home side early impetus, but James Wilson crashed over in the corner in reply.
A penalty try was awarded as the Chiefs pack drove towards the line soon after the break, converted by Henry Slade.
He also kicked three penalties and Jamie Elliott's late try for Saints was no more than a consolation. The victory lifted the Chiefs back into the top four at Leicester's expense, with Northampton remaining six points clear at the top despite what was only their fourth league defeat of the campaign.
