Immanuel Feyi-Waboso marked his Exeter Chiefs return with two tries, but suffered another injury, as his side staged an astonishing comeback draw at Northampton Saints.
The England winger had been out of club rugby since December with a shoulder problem and scored just four minutes into their Prem season opener at Franklin's Gardens.
Despite the early blip, Saints seemed to have wrapped up the win by half-time as debutant Edoardo Todaro scored two tries and Alex Coles, Tom Pearson and Tom Litchfield also went over in a devastating spell of attacking rugby.
Exeter stormed back with four unanswered tries in the second half as Ross Vintcent added two to scores from Paul Brown-Bampoe and Feyi-Waboso's second, which came as he hobbled over the line with an apparent muscle injury.
