Leicester fight back against Treviso

Leicester Tigers came from behind in the second half to clinch a 34-19 win over Treviso in the Heineken Cup this afternoon.

Julian Salvi and Lorenzo Cittadini both scored early tries, but Mat Berquist was able to kick the home side to a half-time lead.

However, Brendan Williams was sent to the sin bin after the break, allowing the Tigers to regain the lead with a series of late tries.

Miles Benjamin scored a second-half brace, while the referee awarded the English club a penalty try to give the visitors the bonus point.

The result sets the Tigers up for a vital match with Ulster in the final game of the pool stage, with both teams in a position to progress.
