Harlequins secured back-to-back Prem victories for the first time this season, defeating Exeter Chiefs in an enthralling end-to-end contest at Sandy Park.
Quins dominated the opening exchanges, with Cadan Murley and Nick David going over before Chiefs responded through Harry Wilson’s close-range effort.
Efforts from Nika Abuladze and Will Butt either side of half-time put the home side ahead but Quins fought their way back into the lead after a quick-fire brace from Lucas Schmid.
Jack Kenningham and Olly Woodburn exchanged late tries to set up a tense finish but Quins managed to scramble the ball into touch and ensure their winning run continues.
