Bath 12-15 Saracens: Late Owen Farrell penalty clinches victory

Owen Farrell kicked a late penalty as Saracens laid down a major marker in the Premiership title race by beating Bath to move above them into second.

But Farrell's penalty with three minutes to go secured Saracens the win and pushed them above Bath in the table by a point.Six-time champions Saracens know more than most how to see out a season and their tactics effectively stopped Bath getting any real grip during the opening 40 minutes. Elliot Daly thumped the ball downfield to put Saracens in an excellent attacking position, only for the television match official to flag a high tackle from Maro Itoje on Alfie Barbeary, with the England lock sent to the sin-bin.

Momentum continued Saracens’ way from the restart as Parton came within inches of a second try before being dragged down before the line. Five minutes later Bath drew level as their maul pushed forward again, with Redpath scoring minutes after coming on and Ben Spencer kicking the conversion. “We actually came out of this game stronger. Disappointed that we lost the game, congratulations to Saracens, that’s why they are the champions.
