Henry Arundell's late try edged a statement win for Bath at Saracens as the visitors moved top of The Prem.

The reigning champions scored 19 unanswered points as they came from behind to seal a victory that puts them three points clear after six games.

Two tries from Max Malins either side of one from Juan Martin Gonzalez gave the hosts a five point lead at the break, with Arundell and Thomas Du Toit responding for Bath.

Scores from Will Butt and Arthur Green gave the visitors the lead for the first time in the match before Gonzalez's second teed up a grandstand finish at 29-29.

But Arundell wrapped up the points with less than four minutes left on the clock.
