Premiership Highlights: Bath 18-9 Saracens

Bath won the battle of the boot as they ground out an 18-9 home win over Saracens in tricky conditions in round 16 of the Premiership. The sides traded early penalties, with Bath keeping the scoreboard ticking over in the first half with a further two as they went into the break holding a 9-3 advantage. Saracens were able to apply some early pressure in the second half, resulting in two successful penalties for the visitors who leveled things up at 9-9. Saracens then picked up a yellow card midway through the second half, with the resulting penalty edging Bath ahead 12-9. Despite Bath picking up a yellow card with around 10 minutes remaining, it was the hosts who were able to finish the stronger as they slotted a further two late penalties to seal a hard fought victory. Ill discipline and an off day from Lozwoski with the boot cost Saracens a chance to move to the top of the Premiership and keep the pressure on the Exeter Chiefs.
