Saracens overpowered Bristol Bears 50-17 to go top of the early-season Prem table with their second win of the campaign.
The hosts raced into a 24-0 lead after just 21 minutes through converted scores from Theo Dan, Nick Isiekwe and Max Malins and Owen Farrell's penalty.
Nick Tompkins clinched a try bonus point and a 31-0 half-time lead before the Bears responded with the try of the game from Kieran Marmion.
Saracens' Jack Bracken crossed twice on his Prem debut, while Marmion crossed twice more for a second-half hat-trick before Hugh Tizard brought up Sarries' half-century late on.
