Wer are now joint third with Sale after a bonus point 37-24 win against Tigers - a game which saw Marcus Smith reinforce his case as England's answer to the problems with lack of invention at fly half.
Smith is the Gallagher Premiership's leading points scorer as he assembled another 22 at The Stoop - one try, 3 pens 4 cons.
Leicester were no pushovers scoring first through Cyle Brink. However, tries from Mike Brown and Smith together with two penalties gave us a 20-7 lead.
Jack van Poortvliet reduced the arrears but not for long as Andre Esterhuizen's score gave us a 30-17 lead after 40 minutes,.
Louis Lynagh crossed in the second half to secure the bonus point.
We've got the chance to overtake Sale next week when the Sharks come visiting for a 1.00 kick off on Saturday.
