Match coverage:  Report

Summary

Time Score  
 

Huge match in France as Saracens face a test of just where they are at the moment. Win and the fate of the pool is in their hands, lose and Toulouse are though to the quarter-finals. Saracens have been playing well recently but Toulouse are seasoned veterans in this tournament and know how to win the big occasions

1 3 - 0

Great start for Toulouse as Jean-Marc Doussain punishes Saracens' ill-discipline at the ruck to put the home side ahead

6 3 - 5

Fantastic play from Chris Ashton as he collects a little nudge through to dart over the line and then sprint ten metres closer to the posts

14 6 - 5

More points for Doussain as Neil de Kock is off for blood with a nasty looking cut

27 6 - 8

Farrell gets his second kick at the posts and the away side hold a narrow lead

29 9 - 8

Doussain is kicking really well for Toulouse and they have that one-point lead back

33 12 - 8

Doussain nudges Toulouse further ahead with another penalty

40

Back underway in the second-half. Saracens must get back into this game if they are to have any hope of winning their pool

50 15 - 8

Doussain stretches Toulouse lead further as Saracens manage to hold the home side out when having their try line pounded but eventually concede the penalty

55

That doesn't happen too often - Picamoles picks up Brits and unceremoniously dispatches him on to the floor

60

Let off for Saracens as the superb Doussain's penalty sails wide

61 18 - 8

Mako Vunipola sees yellow for an offence at the breakdown and Doussain punishes Saracens with the boot

65 18 - 11

Little ray of light for Saracens as Farrell cuts the deficit to seven points. They have 15 minutes to do something special

77 21 - 11

That's goodnight for Saracens as Doussain stretches the lead to 10 points - a superb performance from le rouge et noir
