Exeter Chiefs came back from a half-time deficit to comfortably beat Worcester Warriors in the Premiership Rugby Cup at Sixways.
Tom Howe scored a hat-trick of tries for Warriors, including two in the first half, to put the hosts 12-7 up.
Howe's third gave Worcester a nine-point cushion, but Jacques Vermeulen's try started Chiefs' comeback.
Sean Lonsdale crossed and a last-minute score from former Warrior Matt Kvesic made sure of victory for Chiefs.
Joe Simmonds' 14 points with the boot also proved to be crucial.
Exeter are top of Pool C with 10 points, while Worcester are second on six points. Bath host Leicester in the group's other game on Saturday.
