REACTION: Bristol go top with dramatic win at Exeter

Bristol Bears went top of the Premiership on Sunday after beating Exeter Chiefs 17-20 at Sandy Park with a last minute try.

The visitors were 17-0 down at half time and came back to win in dramatic style when Daniel Thomas powered over from the back of a driving maul in the final play of the game.

Incredible drama at Sandy Park! 😱

With time in the red, an almighty HEAVE from @BristolBears gets them over the line to win it!
