Saracens miss chance to top Aviva Premiership table

Saracens miss the chance to top the Aviva Premiership table with a 12-3 defeat at Worcester Warriors.

Saracens have missed the chance to top the Aviva Premiership table following a 12-3 defeat at Worcester Warriors.

Harlequins' loss at Bath earlier on Friday evening gave Mark McCall's side the opportunity to move above their rivals, but an impressive kicking display from Andy Goode downed the visitors at Sixways Stadium.

Goode kicked the home side into a 10th-minute lead before Nils Mordt got his side level midway through the first half.

However, two more penalties and a drop-goal from Goode saw Worcester go in 12-3 ahead at the break.

Mordt missed a penalty at the start of what turned out to be a dull second half, while Goode saw a second drop-goal go wide of the posts at the other end.

Replacement Sam Stanley could have cut Worcester's deficit with five minutes to play, but his penalty drifted wide.
