LONDON // Nick Evans produced more last gasp heroics as Harlequins snatched a draw with Leicester in front of a record Guinness Premiership crowd.
A fortnight ago, Evans' successful drop goal with the final kick of the game had sealed Harlequins a famous Heineken Cup victory over Stade Francais.
Against the Tigers at Twickenham, the former New Zealand flyhalf sent Ugo Monye in for a last-minute try before landing a touchline conversion to complete a stunning Harlequins comeback.
With five minutes remaining against Leicester the Londoners had been 10 points adrift.
But the Tigers flanker Lewis Moody was sin-binned as Quins mounted a late rally and Evans took full advantage to send the 50,000 crowd home in festive spirits.

Pharaoh's curse
British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
