Harlequins fought back brilliantly to beat Top 14 league leaders Racing 92 in a thrilling Investec Champions Cup pool match in Paris.
Marcus Smith, who kicked a drop-goal from near the halfway line, and Andre Esterhuizen touched down to help Quins take a narrow 17-14 half-time lead.
Scrum-half Nolann le Garrec and flanker Ibrahim Diallo put the hosts ahead before Alex Dombrandt gave Quins hope.
Hooker Jack Walker went over moments later to seal a superb bonus-point win.
