Northampton took control of the early exchanges and quickly moved into a 6-0 lead courtesy of two penalties from Will Hooley in quick succession.

Saracens responded after 19 minutes, however, with a try from Ben Ransom and a conversion from Ben Spencer moving Mark McCall's side 7-6 ahead.

Northampton moved 11-7 ahead in the early stages of the second period through a George Pisi try, before Stephen Myler extended that lead to seven after 57 minutes.

The Saints were not finished as Pisi registered two more tries in the latter stages, before a conversion from Myler secured a 26-7 victory.

Northampton have now won 13 successive games in all competitions.
