Saracens battled through driving wind and rain at Welford Road to secure a 19-17 victory over Leicester Tigers, marking their third straight win in the Prem Rugby Cup. The visitors trailed for much of the match, with Elliot Stooke scoring the opening try for the Tigers before the break.
The game opened up in the second half, with Tobias Elliott and Sam Moli trading tries. Sione Va'enuku then crossed for Saracens, setting up a tense finale. James Hadfield's converted try with just four minutes left on the clock put Saracens ahead for the first time, a lead they managed to hold.
This hard-fought win moves Saracens a point behind Group B leaders Harlequins. For Leicester Tigers, however, this fourth consecutive defeat in the competition means their title defence is now effectively over.
