Quins made the stronger start as Jack Clifford made the most of an early break to sprint over just seconds after kickoff.

The lead was short lived, though, as Wyles responded for Saracens before Charlie Hodgson added a penalty while Ugo Monye was in the sin bin.

Saracens soon started to dominate possession, leaving Ashton to score a try either side of half time and give the designated home side a comfortable lead.

Ashton finished the match in the sin bin as he was shown a yellow card for a tip tackle on Matt Hopper, but Wyles added his second of the day just two minutes later to end any hopes of a Harlequins comeback, while Mako Vunipola came off the bench to complete the rout.

The result keeps Saracens in second, while Harlequins sit eighth in the table.
