Rod Penney (2), Craig McMullen, Edd Thrower, Moses Rauluni and Kevin Sorrell all crossed, while fly-half Gordon Ross kicked 16 points. Leeds, second from bottom of the Premiership, scored four tries through Erik Lund, Mike McDonald, Scott Armstrong and Apolosi Satala. Sarries led 13-8 at the break but ran rampant in the second half. Leeds director of rugby Stuart Lancaster: "There are lots of positives to take from it. I thought lots of our play was good and at the level that it needs to be. "But obviously we cannot keep gifting soft scores away because at this level you will get hurt. "I'm disappointed for the players because the spirit is strong, but that's Leeds for you." Saracens director of rugby Alan Gaffney: "We've come up here and scored six tries but our defence was just not acceptable. "Full credit to Leeds because they really kept going and deserve some credit for that."
