Bristol Bears moved off the bottom of the Premiership as they clung on for a gutsy victory over Harlequins at a soaked Twickenham Stoop.
Tries from Joe Thacker and Gabriel Ibitoye, either side of one from Josh Bassett, had Bristol 10 points in front at half-time.
Caden Murley cut the gap to three on the hour as Quins dominated possession and territory.
Despite being kept scoreless and losing Ibitoye to the sin-bin Bristol held on.
The win, the Bears first in the Premiership since September, takes them two points above Bath while a frustrated Quins stay third after missing the chance to go second with their first defeat in five games.
