Tom Homer was in good form with the boot as London Irish recorded a 29-22 victory over Exeter Chiefs at the Madejski Stadium this afternoon.
The 21-year-old scored four penalties before the break, while he also converted a third-minute try from centre Joe Ansbro.
Exeter's Argentine fly-half Ignacio Mieres kept the visitors in touch during the opening 40 minutes with three penalties as Irish held a 19-9 lead at the half-time whistle.
Irish's Shontayne Hape extended the home side's lead in 46th minute with a try, which Homer converted.
However, a converted try by Luke Arscott reduced the arrears as Exeter went about closing the gap.
Homer missed a penalty on the hour mark and Mieres went on to punish his misjudgement by scoring a penalty to bring Exeter to within four points of Irish.
With stoppage time approaching Homer made up for his earlier error by scoring a long-range penalty to seal the win.
Irish have moved up to third in the Aviva Premiership table with today's victory.
