Toulon found themselves reduced to 13 players, receiving two yellow cards with less than five minutes remaining, while still holding a four-point lead.
In an intense finale, Northampton executed 12 attacking phases, culminating in Lockett crossing the try line to the joy of the Franklins Gardens crowd.
This win marked Northampton's second consecutive victory in Pool 3, following their triumph over Glasgow Warriors the previous Friday.
One of the standout moments from the victory was an incredible try-saving tackle from Courtney Lawes.
What adds to the impressiveness is observing his starting position for the chase back. At the moment Villiere receives the ball, he is the most advanced player for the Saints on the pitch.
