<1R>Saracens opened the scoring after just five minutes, with a try from James Short on the wing. Quins dominated the rest of the first half with tries from Aston Croall, who came off the back of a maul to power over and touch down.
The second try coming just before half time, Ollie Kohn finished off a break through the centre of Saracens' midfield by Tom Guests and Phil Davies to score under the posts. Adrian Jarvis converted both conversions and added two more penalties, putting Quins 20 ' 5 up at the break.
However, after a number of replacements by Quins in during the second half the team did not settle allowing Saracens to hit back with a try from Alex Goode followed by the conversion from Harry Owens. 20 - 12
Harlequins restored their 15 point lead with a try from Seb Stegmann who found space on the wing to dive over in the corner, and Jarvis kicking the conversion.
Victory was not sealed for Quins though, who had a nervous last quarter, which saw both Sarries' Noah Cato and Sakiusa Matadigo going over for the visiting team. Harry Owens slotted the conversions, putting them within just one point of Quins.
Harlequins managed to hang on under pressure to claim the win.
