LONDON Irish are still searching for their first win in the Premiership after they suffered a 24-14 loss at Saracens.

The home side were first on the board thanks to an Owen Farrell penalty.

However, the Exiles took a surprise first-half lead after Asaeli Tikoirotuma scored and Chris Naokes converted.

Tikoirotuma was then sin binned and the home side hit back to score two tries from Jackson Wray and Alex Goode to make it 18-7.

Irish replied with their second converted try of the match, as Leo Halavatau touched down and Shane Geraghty added the extras.

Saracens completed their uninspiring win with a couple of Farrell penalties.

Irish will hope to break their winless start to the campaign, when they face a visit from Bath on Saturday (3pm).
