Richard Cockerill has said that he is relieved by Leicester Tigers' comeback against Treviso in the Heineken Cup.
Leicester trailed for much of the match before securing a penalty try late in the game.
The Tigers boss told Sky Sports News: "We're obviously very relieved because we came away with the win. You have to congratulate Treviso for the way they played. They made us work exceptionally hard.
"Everything went against us really. We scored a really good try in that first half, but somehow we upset the referee and he was against us for a fair bit.
"You could easily let all those factors get on top of you and throw in the towel. But we didn't, we stuck to our guns, played for the win, and eventually we got it."
With Toulouse losing to Ospreys, Leicester close the gap at the top of Pool 2.
