Mitchell seals Toulon's Euro treble

London - Australia wing Drew Mitchell's brilliant late try ensured Toulon became the first club to win three successive European titles as they beat French rivals Clermont 24-18 in a thrilling Champions Cup final at Twickenham on Saturday.

Clermont were 11-3 up midway through the first half yet turned round with Toulon leading 16-11 after Leigh Halfpenny's remorseless boot and a converted try by Mathieu Bastareaud saw the champions into the lead.

But Nick Abendanon's converted try for Clermont just after the hour cut Toulon's lead to a point only for Mitchell to have the last word.
