Exeter looked to have turned things around after the break as James Scaysbrook put the home side ahead three minutes before Luke Cowan-Dickie added his second of the match.

Against the run of play, Matthew Jenkins forced his way over for a third try for the Welsh side, before Tom Grabham drew them level.

However, Ospreys were level for just four minutes before James Phillips squeezed into the corner, while Don Armand sealed the win for the Chiefs late on.
