Callum Sheedy kicked an 85th-minute drop goal to deny Lyon an incredible comeback victory in the Investec Champions Cup.
Bristol appeared to cruise to a bonus-point victory after a fifth try by Gabriel Oghre to take a 33-10 lead.
But two tries from Thaakir Abrahams alongside a Semi Radradra score set up a grandstand finish.
Alfred Parisien's solo try looked to have won the game with three minutes to go before Sheedy struck.
More to follow.
