Leicester beat Premiership play-off rivals Gloucester at Kingsholm as they went third with a fourth straight win.
Superb scramble defence from both sides kept the game scoreless in a nip-and-tuck first half.
Mike Brown's try finally broke the deadlock for Tigers after 55 minutes, and Julian Montoya's close-range score opened up a 12-0 lead.
Jonny May cut the deficit, but Ben Youngs crossed and Jasper Wiese sealed a bonus point with the final play.
