Triple champions Leicester reignited their European Cup quarter-final push with a 20-15 win over Clermont on Saturday, avenging a 40-30 defeat they suffered against the French side last weekend.
The Tigers led 13-9 at half-time after Anthony Allen's converted try and two Toby Flood penalties, but the win was sealed when Scott Hamilton touched down five minutes from the end and Flood converted.
Fly-half Brock James kicked all of Clermont's points.
"I am pleased with the win but not with the fact that they leave with a bonus point from a game we largely dominated," said Leicester coach Matt O'Connor.
Leicester remain third in Pool 3, four points behind Ospreys who clinched a a bonus-point 45-19 win over Viadana.
Tommy Bowe crossed twice as the Welsh region followed up their 62-7 win in Italy last week.
