Leicester Tigers defeated Saracens 36-28 in a crucial Premiership rugby match. The win narrows the gap between fifth-placed Leicester and the league's top four teams.
On a freezing night, Leicester delivered a clinical performance. Saracens, in sixth place, were left to regret another inconsistent result.
Fly-half Billy Searle, named player of the match, was the star. The 29-year-old controlled the game brilliantly, raising questions about why his many former clubs let him go.
Leicester wing Adam Radwan also impressed. His powerful display, adding to his famous speed, will demand attention from England's national team coach.
The regular season is now halfway done. This result puts Leicester in a strong position to challenge for a playoff spot.
