    Well, that's where we'll leave things after that dramatic finale.

    Tim Visser will take the headlines for his late, match-winning try and I think I'll take a lie down to recover from the sheer excitement of it all.

    Thanks for being with us, until next time....

    Danny Care, take a bow!

    What a few weeks it's been for him after starring in England colours and now for his club against their London rivals.

    His two clever cross field kicks and a chip chase through the middle set up all three tries and helped steal the win late in the piece.

    Unsurprisingly, he takes the man of the match award.

    Terrible restart from Owen Farrell goes straight into Quins' hands and they waste little time in seeing the clock is dead and boot it out of touch for a late, dramatic win!

    My word! Quins have done it again and they've probably stolen the victory at the same time!

    Tim Visser the man on the end of another superb Danny Care cross kick.

    Penalty advantage was coming for the hosts and Care backed himself to pick out the winger. Alex Goode nearly intercepted it, but as it spilled through his fingers, Visser pounced and got over in the corner.

    James Lang misses the conversion and there's still time for one more play....

    James Lang kicks to touch within 10 metres of the Saracens line. Can the hosts get another dramatic score here?

    Harlequins 15-19 Saracens

    Danny Care tries to go again on his own, but this time Saracens have the answer to stop him on halfway.

    James Lang also tries to be adventurous and it all goes a bit loose out wide.

    But Luke Pearce spotted an earlier high tackle by Will Skelton on Lang and it's a Harlequins penalty on halfway.

  11. Penalty (Farrell)published at 75 mins

    Harlequins 15-19 Saracens

    Owen Farrell takes all the time he's allowed over that penalty and then routinely slots it home.

    Four from four penalties plus the one conversion for the England international this afternoon.

    Quins caught offside and Will Skelton nearly burst through to punish them further. Farrell again with the chance to add three routine points from in front of the posts....

    Quins pinned inside their own 22 and even though Care kicks clear, Sarries come running back at them....

    Well, hang on a minute! Quins aren't done in this one yet.

    Quick thinking on halfway from Danny Care from the free-kick, he chipped it over the top and tried to run on to it, Charlie Walker did finish it off after Care was taken out off the ball.

    James Lang kicks the conversion and there's just a point in it now!

    Harlequins 8-16 Saracens

    Alex Goode gets a huge right boot through the ball to clear his side off their own 22. Quins will now have to work from their own 10-metre line with the line-out.

    Slow ball again for the hosts as you sense Sarries have the tools to close this one out in clinical fashion.

    Quins concede a free-kick at that scrum and Owen Farrell can kick out to touch beyond halfway.

    Chance goes begging again for the hosts.

    The Saracens Wolf Pack defence finally hunts down its prey of the ball.

    Quins went through 21 phases, but as close as they got was 10 metres out from the line.

    A knock-on is finally forced and the visitors will have the chance to exit from the scrum.

    Lots and lots of phases for Quins, but no holes through that Saracens defence on their 22 metre line.

    Chance to come back into for Quins as Richard Wigglesworth is penalised for a high tackle on halfway.

    James Lang kicks for the corner and the hosts will try to claw back this eight-point deficit.

    Simple as that. Up the middle with the powerful scrum. Penalty given. Three points kicked.

    Owen Farrell has three more to his name as he sets off in pursuit of his next 1,000 Premiership points.
