Saracens beat Northampton 28-24 in their final home match of the season.

Tarek Haffar's second try gave Northampton the lead in the dying moments of the match.

Northampton are now in the hunt for a place in the playoffs with one round remaining.

Saracen were cruising, for an hour or so more or less obliterating the actual champions of England .

A comfortable lead with half an hour to play is almost the worst place for a team to find themselves.

Tommy Freeman , purveyor of class and brains like few others, rose to the occasion with his mates.

Saracens watched the end of their season through parted fingers.
