The Aviva Premiership leaders dominated the first half with George Kruis, Ernst Joubert and Chris Wyles all scoring tries.

Chris Ashton proved too much for the hosts after the break, as he carved holes through the Italian side's defence, crossing the whitewash twice.

Samuela Vunisa, who had spent time earlier in the game in the sin bin, scored a late consolation try for the home side, but it did not stop Saracens from securing a comfortable win.

The result moves Saracens to the top of pool three, while Zebre are yet to take their first points of the tournament.
