Saracens kept up their winning start in the Premiership with a crushing victory over defending champions Leicester.
Alex Lozowski finished a superb move at the StoneX Stadium before Ben Earl, Max Malins and Ivan van Zyl stretched the hosts’ lead to 14 points at the break.
Elliot Daly, Theo McFarland and Sean Maitland capped Saracens’ dominance as they made it three wins in three.
James Cronin and Freddie Steward crossed in each half for Leicester, but that was as good as it got for Steve Borthwick’s side.
