Leicester Tigers flexed their muscles as they ran in seven tries to cruise to an emphatic Premiership victory over Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park.

The visitors were in control from the start and registered their biggest ever margin of victory in league meetings between the sides.

That winning margin could have been bigger, had Jamie Shillcock been more efficient with the boot.

Newcastle rallied, but ultimately failed to muster any sort of attacking threat to inject any jeopardy into the game as their wait for a win stretches to 24 games.
