Northampton Saints claimed their first Premiership title since 2014 as they held off a fierce fightback from 14-man Bath to edge to a narrow 25-21 victory at Twickenham.
Tommy Freeman and Ollie Sleightholme put Saints in front during the first half but Thomas du Toit and Will Muir brought Bath level before Finn Russell's penalty put them ahead. Northampton have set the bar in the English Premiership this season and despite this display not being as vintage a performance as their fans might have enjoyed in previous months, Saints still produced the magic they needed when it counted.
