The hosts struggled in the opening stages of the match as Kyle Eastmond put Bath ahead before the home side had a try disallowed.

However, a yellow card for Paul James allowed Saints to turn things around, fighting back from 13-0 down to lead 21-13 at half time.

Chris Day added his second try of the match early in the second half to extend Northampton's advantage.

Despite already being in a strong position, the home team continued to attack, resulting in tries for Calum Clark and George North late on, leaving themselves three points behind Saracens in the table.
