Gloucester scored 13 tries in a club-record-breaking win over Exeter to move up to fifth in the Premiership.

The Cherry and Whites totally outclassed their opponents as they ran in seven first-half tries to lead 43-7 at the break, having earned a bonus point inside the 20 minutes.

Jamal Ford-Robinson and Christian Wade took the try tally to nine within 10 minutes of the restart as Exeter began to get embarrassed.

The hosts went on to score four more tries - replacement Jack Singleton got a hat-trick - as they registered their record Premiership victory, overtaking a 64-0 win over Bath three years ago.

The defeat was Exeter's heaviest in the top flight, surpassing a 55-12 loss to Sale 14 years ago.

It marks the second record-loss for Rob Baxter's side this season, after a 69-17 defeat by Bordeaux broke their record in European competition.

Exeter remain second from bottom of the table.
