Saracens have picked up their first win of the new Aviva Premiership campaign with a close 26-28 win over Bath.

Sam Vesty's first-minute penalty put the home team in front for no more than five minutes, before Owen Farrell levelled the score. James Short and Nick Abendanon scored a try for either side to keep the score level, before Carl Fearns's try gave Bath a four-point lead just prior to the half.

Saracens responded with a couple of quick Owen Farrell penalties after the break, before the lead went on to switch hands four more times, with eight penalties converted in total. Farrell's seventh of the game gave Saracens the win in the final minute.
