Leon Lloyds 80th-minute try snatched a thrilling victory for Leicester as they stunned Stade at the Parc des Princes to complete a Premiership and European double.Stade looked on course for victory in their home city thanks to an incredible 30-points tally from the boot of Diego Dominguez, but the Tigers scored three second-half tries to deny the French team.Leicester trailed 15-9 at the interval but Lloyd scored the games opening try just 50 seconds after the restart. Leon Lloyd scores the match-winning try Neil Back also crossed the whitewash while Dominguez kept his side in contention with two 50-metre penalties.Leicester survived the sin-binning of skipper Martin Johnson for punching but they fell behind with three minutes remaining when Italy fly-half Dominguez slotted a drop goal.However, the Tigers would have the final say as Lloyd crossed in the right corner following a superb break by man of the match Austin Healy, and they withstood a late barrage to clinch the first of back-to-back European Cups.2004: Wasps 27-20 Toulouse Rob Howleys last-minute try clinched a first European Cup for Wasps Clement Poitrenaud called time on a fantastic career last week but hes probably still having nightmares about the final minute of the 2004 decider at Twickenham.Wasps led a thrilling contest for large spells but their French opponents drew level with just three minutes remaining as replacement Jean-Baptiste Elissalde slotted his third unanswered penalty.Both teams were guilty of some abject kicking during a tense finish and a poor drop out from Frederic Michalak bounced into Rob Howleys arms. Howley celebrates with the Heineken Cup The Wales scrum-half booted the ball up the wing and gave chase but Poitrenaud was well positioned to deal with the danger.However, the Toulouse full-back tried to let the ball go dead, and as he waited for it to bounce into the in-goal area, Howley beat him to the punch and touched the ball down to snatch the most dramatic of victories.The day prior to that I was kicking with Shaun Edwards and he told me to be prepared for a huge kicking game, and to never kick and hope, said Howley.Well the kick and hope actually won us the cup final. He told me afterwards, never listen to me again!2014: Toulon 23-6 Saracens Toulon beat Saracens in the last ever Heineken Cup final Jonny Wilkinsons final game on British soil was a memorable one as Toulon comfortably retained the European Cup with a crushing victory over Saracens at the Millennium Stadium.The World Cup winner kicked 13 points as tries in either half from Matt Giteau and Juan Smith ensured the French heavyweights became only the third team to successfully defend their crown.Having hammered Clermont in the semi-finals, Saracens opened the scoring with an Owen Farrell penalty, but they were punished after failing to capitalise on the sin-binning of Juan Fernandez Lobbe.Instead, Toulon scored the opening try while down to 14 men, Wallabies centre Giteau crossing on the half-hour, and a drop goal from Wilkinson gave them a 10-3 lead at the interval.
