Charlie Hodgson kicks Saracens to a win over Bath to move to the top of the Aviva Premiership table.

Saracens have moved to the top of the Aviva Premiership with a win over Bath.

The visitors dominated the first half, taking an comfortable 16-0 lead at half time thanks to a strong kicking display from Charlie Hodgson and a Richard Wigglesworth penalty.

Stephen Donald had two chances to get Bath off the mark, but both of his kicks missed the posts.

Bath had good chances throughout the match, Tom Biggs missing a try-scoring opportunity when he chipped the ball too far ahead, while another chance was missed following a knock-on.

However, errors cost the home side, conceding penalties throughout the game to prevent them crashing the try line and allowing Hodgson to add a further six points.

Saracens' reign at the top of the table could be a short one, with Harlequins in action this afternoon.

Bath sit seventh in the table.
