Having been thrashed by Saracens in their opening fixture of the season, Sale made sure that they got off to a bright start, with Danny Cipriani getting the opening try of the match on the board less than 10 minutes in following a driving maul.
The drive continued to yield results for the home side, as David Seymour crashed over midway through the first half after Ryan Mills had edged Worcester ahead with a couple of penalties.
Sale's power in the scrum proved too much for the visitors at the start of the second half as Josh Beaumont made the most of a solid scrum to add a third try of the night.
Jonny Arr gave the Warriors some hope inside the final 15 minutes as he managed to dive over in the corner after the visitors got the ball out from a scrum, leaving them just a converted try down, but Sale managed to break back down the other end following a mistake from Worcester, resulting in Johnny Leota squeezing over in the final moments.
