An injury-time penalty goal from Adrian Jarvis gave Harlequins a nail-biting 19-18 European Challenge Cup win over Connacht.

Jarvis kicked four penalty goals and converted Tom Williams' try as the London side sneaked home at the Sportsground.

Connacht centre John Hearty opened the scoring with a try in the eighth minute which was converted by Paul Warwick, but three penalty goals from Jarvis gave the visitors a one-point lead at the break.

Winger Williams scored early in the second half, but a try from home backrower Colm Rigney gave his side the lead before Jarvis' 82-minute heroics.
