Toulouse grabbed a dramatic 20-20 draw at Clermont on Sunday to stay only three points behind the leaders at the Top 14 summit.

Franck Azema's Clermont went into the game knowing its place at the top of the table could be under threat against a Toulouse outfit on a nine-match winning streak in all competitions.

Despite first-half tries from Apisai Naqalevu and Peter Betham, Toulouse's late charge proved enough to end Clermont's 100-percent record at the Stade Marcel-Michelin this season.

The home team got off to a quick start with Morgan Parra slotting over a second-minute penalty, with Toulouse fly-half Thomas Ramos replying shortly afterward.

But Fijian center Naqalevu raced clear to score the game's first try in the ninth minute, before Betham's score and two Parra conversions gave Clermont a commanding 17-3 half-time lead.

Teenage back Mathis Lebel crossed to give Toulouse hope 15 minutes into the second period, with Ramos adding the extras, but Greig Laidlaw's penalty put Clermont 10 points in front.

Romain Ntamack, 19, kept Toulouse's hopes of a 10th successive win alive, though, by touching down in the 69th minute, with Ramos' conversion dragging the team within three points of an unlikely draw.

And Toulouse kept the pressure on long after the 80 minutes were up, with Ramos eventually kicking an 83rd-minute penalty to secure a share of the spoils.
