The home side made a bright start with Blaine Scully scoring his first try of the season just three minutes into the match following a quick break from Leicester.

Owen Williams added the conversion, and kicked a further nine points from penalties before the end of the first half to leave the Tigers 10 points ahead at the break.

After Williams increased Leicester's lead with two more penalties, Karl Dickson forced his way over from close range inside the final 10 minutes as Quins tried to come back late on, but the visitors were unable to cut Leicester's lead further.

The result moves the Tigers up to seventh in the table, just one place behind Harlequins.
