Saracens have closed the gap on Harlequins at the top of the Aviva Premiership with a 19-11 victory over Quins at Twickenham in front of an 80,000-strong crowd.
The win was thanks largely to the boot of England hopeful Owen Farrell, who scored four penalties before the break.
The 20-year-old also sent a conversion between the posts after David Strettle had gone over for a 19th minute try.
In reply Nick Evans scored two penalties to send the teams into half time 19-6 in favour of Sarries.
Quins claimed the only points after the restart when Joe Marler went over for a 47th minute try. Evans missed the chance to close the gap by failing to make the conversion.
Sarries now trail Quins by five points in the Aviva Premiership table.
