Saracens beat Exeter Chiefs to win the Premiership final and become the first English side to complete a domestic and European double since 2004.

Exeter, in their first play-off final, were blown away by a faultless first half from Sarries, who led 23-6 through Duncan Taylor and Chris Wyles scores.

Jack Yeandle and Jack Nowell crossed after the break as a rejuvenated Chiefs reduced the deficit to three points.

But Alex Goode’s late try secured the title for the defending champions.

Victory also means Mark McCall’s side become the first English club since Wasps 12 years ago to win the top-flight and European titles in the same season.
