That's all from us.

The boot of Greig Laidlaw gets the plaudits, kicking 16 points to guide Gloucester to victory at Sale for the second season running.

We'll of course be back with plenty more Premiership rugby both tomorrow and on Sunday.

Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond speaking to BT Sport:

"I think Gloucester played very well - they scored two good tries and they capitalised on our ill-discipline.

"We were a poor second best tonight.

"I just think we're trying to play a bit too much rugby and against a good side like Gloucester you can't do that."

Want a bit of light reading before lights out...

Well, if you are a Gloucester fan it will leave you pretty happy, but it is a bit more of a nightmare for Sale supporters on a night to forget.

Tonight's Premiership action from the AJ Bell Stadium is just the start of things this weekend as there are five Premiership matches remaining.

On the menu at 15:00 BST on Saturday:

• Bath v Worcester 
• Exeter v Harlequins
• Saracens v Northampton

And on Sunday...

• Wasps v Bristol (14:30 BST)
• Newcastle v Leicester (15:00 BST)

Of course, you can follow every try and big hit right here on the BBC Sport website with live text commentaries.

Gloucester scrum-half Greig Laidlaw told BT Sport:

"It's always a bit unnerving when you lose the first two, but we got two points on the road last weekend and we're absolutely delighted to win tonight.

"When you play in the Premiership you're always going to be under pressure at times, but we stayed cool.

"We're just hammering it in training - we've gone back to basics this year - we're testing ourselves, so there are always going to be mistakes, but we're going to keep backing ourselves."

The visitors have the scrum and Henry Purdy kicks out of play.

Slowly but surely Gloucester took the game away from their hosts as the second half wore on.

In the end it was a comfortable victory for the Cherry and Whites, while Sale have extra worries at fly-half with Dan Mugford seemingly joining AJ MacGinty on the treatment table.

The sides have had two tries apiece and Sale have had their share of the ball, but Gloucester have had the edge in almost every other department.

It can't have been easy to come here off the back of two defeats at the start of the season, but the Cherry and Whites look like leaving this match with four points.

The Sharks are beginning to let their frustrations get the better of them.

Captain Josh Beaumont is penalised for a high tackle on Gloucester replacement Billy Twelvetrees.

You know what happens next? Yep, you guessed it.

Greig Laidlaw puts the penalty over and Sale now have a mountain to climb.

As things stand, this man has been the difference for the away side this evening.

While Sale have had their fly-half Dan Mugford injured with a lack of suitable replacements, Greig Laidlaw has put on a kicking masterclass for Gloucester.

He hasn't missed a thing tonight.

...And again.

Gloucester replacement Jacob Rowan is clever to win the penalty this time, and that points machine Greig Laidlaw does the rest, slotting over with consummate ease.

Sale are now two scores from victory (gulp).

Gloucester are blessed with more internationals than their hosts, and with that comes experience and know-how.

Sale give away a penalty for holding around the neck and Greig Laidlaw shows his class to kick the three points.

This picture probably just about sums up the game.

Gloucester ahead, but under heavy pressure from Sale as the visitors desperately search for their first win of the Premiership season.

Less than 20 minutes left.

The scoreline may still be against them, and memories of last season's Gloucester win here, but I make Sale favourites now.

The Sharks have that near-impeccable home record and seem to be hunting down the Cherry and Whites as if they were their prey.

"Gloucester are defending the maul well tonight, it's one of Sale's big weapons."

It's a frustrating watch even for me as a neutral, so I can only wonder how flustered Sale fans are getting.

Once again the hosts have ball in a threatening position, but Gloucester stay strong and turnover.

Steve Diamond shakes his head in disbelief.

Sale are trying to make something happen but are forcing things somewhat.

As I say that, Gloucester are penalised and the hosts kick to the corner as they go in search of a try.

This Dan Mugford injury saga continues to run.

The inexperienced fly-half has been limping about all game and has been unsuccessful with his two kicks for goal, but the lack of a number 10 on the Sale bench is making them hesitant to take him off.

Will the home side end up regretting this?

The hosts have started the second half with purpose, territory and possession.

However, Sale captain Josh Beaumont is given a ticking off as his team-mates continue to contest the referee's decisions.

Aptly enough, Sharks head coach Steve Diamond is then seen moaning himself from the stands.

We're back underway in Salford.

So far this season Gloucester have blown a 24-point lead to lose and come from behind to draw - how will they cope being in-front this week?

Sale's only Premiership loss at home in the last 17 months was against the Cherry and Whites - they'll undoubtedly be doing their utmost to ensure it doesn't happen again.
