Sale snatched a losing bonus point as Exeter ended a run of four Premiership defeats with a 30-24 victory.
Sale fought back from 10-0 down after Nic Sestaret’s try and five points from Ignacio Mieres’s boot put Chiefs ahead.
Chris Bell’s converted try and a Charlie Hodgson penalty drew Sale level at half-time before Matt Jess reacted first to Bell’s knock on to score.
Wame Lewaravu crashed over for Sale and Tom Hayes went in for Exeter but Will Addison’s late try was not enough.
