A penalty try and a yellow card for Tom James made sure of the win, but Saints battled until the end against the Gallagher Premiership table-toppers. That hope was extinguished when the penalty try was awarded for James coming in at the side, and Saracens stuck the knife in with a Max Malins score as they booked their place at Twickenham. But referee Karl Dickson missed the incident initially before awarding a penalty to Saints on review. But Saints finally found a spark as Mitchell delivered a fantastic finish, bringing a huge roar from the away support. Saracens: Goode (Daly 66); Malins, Lozowski, Tompkins (Taylor 66), Maitland; Farrell (c), van Zyk; M Vunipola (Mawi 68), George (Dan 72), Riccioni (Judge 74); Itoje, Tizard; Isiekwe (Hunter-Hill 49), Earl, Wray.
