Head coach Richard Cockerill believes that Leicester Tigers' win over Montpellier on Sunday will prove to be "massive" come the end of the Heineken Cup group stages.
The Premiership side looked to be heading for a bonus-point defeat, but a last-minute Vereniki Goneva try and Ryan Lamb conversion gave Leicester a stunning 15-14 victory that sees them keep pace with Pool Five leaders Ulster.
"At 14-8 we could have been happy to take the bonus point and not risk losing it but credit to the players, they kept playing and manufacturing opportunities to score tries even if we didn't necessarily take them," Cockerill told reporters.
"But this was what we needed in the competition, those four points to keep the pressure on Ulster.
"This is massive for us, with another massive game in Treviso to come. We can't take anything for granted but we want to get the win there and then bring Ulster to Welford Road for a grand stand finish."
Leicester travel to Saracens in the Aviva Premiership on Saturday.
