Alex Goode’s nerveless penalty in added time saw Saracens edge Exeter to maintain their winning start to the Premiership season.
The fullback’s talents were required after Saracens star Owen Farrell stupidly got himself yellow carded for a trip on England teammate Jack Nowell.
One fan wrote: “Well at least it was around the legs…”
Farrell was sin-binned before limping off in the second-half after clashing with Chiefs man Joe Simmonds.
The scores were level at half-time as Theo McFarland crossed for the visitors and Exeter earned a penalty try.
However, Henry Slade’s 76th-minute penalty looked to have won it for Chiefs before Goode coolly slotted the winner.
