Saracens scored a last-second penalty as they beat Bristol 37-35 to go top of the Premiership.

Alex Lozowski's three-pointer in the 83rd minute ensured a dramatic victory for Sarries in a thrilling encounter at Ashton Gate.

Bristol skipper Fitz Harding had scored a hat-trick for the hosts who were 15 points up early in the second half.

But two tries from Elliot Daly kept last season's beaten finalists in the game before Lozowski - who was recalled to the England squad last week - kicked the winning points to break Bristol's hearts.

The win sees Saracens go two points clear of Bristol who drop to second place after gaining two losing bonus points.
