IN PICTURES: Saints secure stunning Premiership title success in Twickenham thriller

Northampton Saints are the champions of England!

For only the second time in the club’s history, Saints claimed Premiership glory on Saturday as they beat Bath 25-21 in a Twickenham thriller.

The match was a real roller-coaster ride for both sets of supporters, but in the end it was Phil Dowson’s men who emerged victorious against 14-man Bath.

Tries were scored by Tommy Freeman, Ollie Sleightholme and Alex Mitchell, whose score seven minutes from time sealed the success under a hot west London sun.

Here are a selection of pictures from a brilliant and historical day for the club.
