Neil de Kock got the visitors off to a good start, bursting down the wing before leaping over in the corner for an eighth-minute try.

Alex Goode set up David Strettle for a second Saracens score shortly after, helping them to a comfortable 19-3 lead at half time.

Goode added a try of his own after the break as the visitors started to look out of sight for Gloucester, but yellow cards for Billy Vunipola and Steve Borthwick gave the hosts a chance to get back into the match against 13-man Sarries.

Matt Cox managed to give the the home team some late hope, but Gloucester were unable to reduce Saracens' lead further.
