Leicester Tigers beat Newcastle Falcons 28-19 in the Premiership Rugby Cup, adding to Newcastle’s difficult season on a night when head coach Alan Dickens confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the campaign.
Leicester scored four tries to earn a bonus-point win at Welford Road, extending their lead at the top of Pool B to eight points with two games left. Newcastle led briefly and pushed for a comeback, but Leicester finished stronger to seal the victory.
The win leaves Leicester firmly in control of the group, while Newcastle stay behind Saracens after another defeat in a tough season.
