77 mins: Farrell puts the ball over the top of the Exeter defence and into touch on the five-metre, and for the first time in forever, Exeter crack. The lineout goes wrong and Saracens win back the ball, and as he wraps round Jamie George collects the ball and barges over to score. Farrell converts and with two minutes left, surely that;s the title in the bag?! 27-37

80 mins: Sam Hill, just on the field, takes full advantage of loose play to dive over, but as he does so the clock hits zero and there will be no time for a restart. Simmonds lands the conversion to cut the lead to three points...but it's too late...
