Leicester 24-16 Wasps
Image source, Getty ImagesLeicester Tigers maintained their winning start to the new Premiership season with an ultimately comfortable ‘local derby’ victory over Wasps.
Two solo bursts on either wing brought Fiji’s Niki Goneva the only first-half try.
Tongan international Telusa Veainu then crossed after Wasps were down to 10 men following Jimmy Gopperth’s yellow card.
Other than Gopperth’s three first-half penalties, Wasps’ only reply was Italian Lorenzo Cittadini’s late try, while Owen Williams earned a 14-point individual haul for Tigers.

Sale 20-13 Northampton

Sam James, a late replacement for Sam Tuitupou, put the Sharks into a 13-6 half-time lead with a kick-and-run try.
Sale's Danny Cipriani and Saints' Stephen Myler also both kicked two penalties in the first period.
Will Addison's try furthered Sale's lead and they held on despite Myler's score for the visitors.

Penalty (Williams)published at 16:53

There's some huge hits out there as Tigers' defence work overtime to keep Wasps out. Three big hits and they earn a penalty. Wasps waste a rare opportunity for points in this half.

It's another penalty from another scrum, as this time Leicester are accused of not feeding straight. Wasps kick into Tigers' 22.
Try (Veainu)published at 16:43
Leicester 21-9 Wasps
Owen Williams is so close to the Wasps try-line, and then Jordan Crane is agonisingly short as Leicester spread it to their three-quarters.
Eventually the ball comes back the other way and debutant Telusa Veainu goes over in the corner. The conversion is missed by Williams.

BBC Sport at Welford RoadJimmy Gopperth can consider himself very lucky to still be in this game.
But there is a citing officer present here at Welford Road and Gopperth may not have heard the last of this, after only getting a yellow card instead of a red for his late 'challenge' on home full-back Matthew Tait.
Maybe, in all the excitement, the referee Tim Wigglesworth simply did not see the same video replay that was seen by the press box and those Tigers fans watching the big screen.
