Ken Pisi got the home side off to a quick start, darting over the line inside the opening minute of the match.

The visitors were soon back in level terms, though, as Henry Trinder ran from inside his own half for a score for the visitors.

However, Gloucester were unable to keep pace with the hosts after the break, as they ran in four tries in just over 20 minutes to seal the win.

The victory puts Northampton back at the top of the table, while Gloucester sit ninth.
