Olivier Azam's try from a five-metre penalty line-out put Gloucester ahead.

Walker converted but Andy Goode tied the score and Ayoola Erinle's try sealed the win, although Gloucester's bonus point kept them top of the table.

Gloucester coach Dean Ryan:
"With the amount of injuries and contributions to Tests, I thought it was an outstanding display and I'm very proud of the guys.

"Some of our young guys have been playing at Moseley, so you've got to take your hat off to them.

"As a collective we did everything we wanted. The senior guys turned up and the younger guys flourished."

Leicester coach Marcelo Loffreda:
"A game against the top side in the league is important and maybe that made it one of our best games of the season.

"But we have a long way to go. We were sharp when we were attacking, but tried to control the tempo and couldn't.

"We have to work on that and get a better quality of ball out."
