Sale Sharks have taken a hard-fought victory over London Wasps in the Aviva Premiership this evening, winning 26-22.
After a quiet start, Sale had a strong spell of possession mid-way through the first half, resulting in a 31st-minute try for Mark Cueto.
Danny Cipriani, who replaced the injured Nick MacLeod early on, made an impact at the start of the second half, forcing his way over the line for the second try of the match, before adding the conversion.
The visitors continued to fight for the ball, and were able to keep themselves in contention when Ashley Johnson crossed the whitewash in the 54th minute.
Andy Goode had a chance to give Wasps the lead inside the last 10 minutes, but missed the conversion after Josh Bassett's try.
Cipriani secured the victory with just over a minute left to play, taking his points count for the evening to 21.
