    Since the early period it has been all Lyon. Davit Niniashvili now executes a 50-22.

    Lyon line-out five metres out...

  7. Saracens 5-7 Lyon

    Saying that, Josiah Maraku has just dropped the ball after hitting a lovely line.

    Chance gone.

  8. Saracens 5-7 Lyon

    Lyon have soaked up the Saracens pressure really well. Then when they get a chance they look dangerous. A side which don't mind not having the ball are always interesting...

  9. Strong Lyon defence

    Saracens 5-7 Lyon

    Saracens are now deep inside the Lyon 22 looking for an instant response.

    But the French side are rock solid in defence.

  10. try

    Converted try - Saracens 5-7 Lyon

    Davit Niniashvili (con Leo Berdeu)

    This time the intercept is good as Davit Niniashvili reads the pass from Ivan van Zyl.

    It was all or nothing as Saracens had numbers, but he picks it off brilliantly.

    Some set of wheels too.

  11. Saracens 5-0 Lyon

    Davit Niniashvili intercepts the ball and is gone but play is called back for a penalty. The Georgia wing then slams the ball down.

    Clearly not a happy bunny!

  12. Saracens 5-0 Lyon

    A lovely grubber from Alex Goode turns around Lyon, but they are able to exit with no issues.

  13. Saracens 5-0 Lyon

    Alfred Parisien sends the ball dead and Saracens will have a scrum. All Sarries so far.

  14. Saracens 5-0 Lyon

    Mark McCall must have had some stern words for his side during the week after a record European loss in Bordeaux.

    They have been at it so far. Lyon get their first chance ball in hand however.

  15. try

    Try - Saracens 5-0 Lyon

    Ivan van Zyl

    It was coming.

    The scrum-half caught everyone off guard with a quick tap and he is over for the opening score.

    Clearly Sarries want to play fast.

    Billy VunipolaGetty Images

    Sarries have lost five of their past seven matches, including a 55-15 defeat by Bordeaux Begles in their last pool game.

    "It was a tough result to take last week. Having said that, we're grateful that all the boys are fit and healthy and we can start building from what essentially is the bottom," said Billy Vunipola.

    “There are things for us to build on. If we can get our foundations right, I'm sure we will be alright.

    "We'll get better and I'm sure we will be in the mix by the end of this tournament."
