Content overview: “Slade's last-gasp penalty miss lets Toulouse escape with 31-28 Champions Cup win over Exet”. Exeter Chiefs came agonizingly close to a stunning Champions Cup upset at Stade Ernest-Wallon, but Henry Slade's missed penalty with the final kick allowed Toulouse to escape with a 31-28 victory. The hosts played more than 50 minutes with 14 men after prop Rodrigue Neti was sent off in the first half for a dangerous tackle, yet still managed to fight back from a 28-19 deficit. Toulouse fly-half Romain Ntamack and winger Matthis Lebel scored crucial second-half tries to complete the comeback, while Exeter's Josh Hodge and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso touched down earlier.
Slade, who had kicked 13 points, had a chance to win it from 45 metres out but pushed his effort wide. The result keeps Toulouse unbeaten in Pool A and leaves Exeter with a single losing bonus point, making their qualification for the knockout stages much harder.
