Saracens blew Harlequins away 52-7 in front of 61,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Quins hardly laid a glove on the north Londoners as Sarries stretched their winning run to seven matches against their rivals in the Premiership.

Tries from Alex Lewington, Theo Dan and two from Sean Maitland gave Saracens a 24-0 lead at half-time.

Alex Dombrandt scored for Quins before Lucio Cinti, Juan Martin Gonzalez and replacement Alex Goode sealed the win.

The victory lifts Saracens above Harlequins into second in the Premiership table, while Quins slip to fifth as a result of Exeter's win over Newcastle and their points difference taking a battering.
