Sale edge Tigers

McAlister was desperately unlucky to see his late drop-goal attempt sail narrowly wide but he still found the time to convert a late penalty.
Charlie Hodgson, who again proved a trusty source of points for Sale with four penalties, outplayed errant opposite number Andy Goode who cost Leicester dear by spurned four of his seven kicks at goal.
The only tries came late in the first half - from rival wings Rory Lamont and Johne Murphy respectively - as the Sharks extended their proud record of having not lost at Edgeley Park since a 26-25 defeat against Leicester in April.
And the majority of a 10,872 sell-out crowd were left to toast a victory which reaffirmed Sale's title credentials.
