Leinster had to rely on a late Jonathan Sexton drop goal to snatch a dramatic 19-18 away win against Benetton Treviso in the RaboDirect PRO12.

The European Champions were 8-3 down at half-time after Robert Barbieri scored a first-half try for the Italians.

Brian O'Driscoll did score a second half try for Leinster, with Sexton kicking well, but a Fabio Semenzato try and a Kris Burton penalty looked to have won it for Treviso.

Sexton, however, produced one more moment of magic to steal the points for his side.
