Leicester shrugged off a disastrous opening to overcome Gloucester and finally secure their first home victory of the season.
Leicester Tigers dug deep to turn a nightmare start into a statement result, beating Gloucester to claim their first home win of the season.
The hosts began poorly and found themselves on the back foot early. For a side still hunting a win in front of their own fans, the opening spell could easily have set the tone for another frustrating afternoon.
Instead, the Tigers regrouped and fought their way back into the contest. They sharpened up, grew in confidence and gradually took control, showing the resilience that supporters have been waiting to see at home.
The result gives Leicester a much-needed lift. Having struggled to turn performances into victories on their own patch, they now have a home win on the board and some momentum to carry into the next round of fixtures. Gloucester, meanwhile, will be left to reflect on how they let the contest slip away after such a promising start.
