A rampant Saracens side inflicted Sharks’ heaviest ever home league defeat as they ran in 13 tries at a stunned CorpAcq Stadium.
Noah Caluori scored five more tries to add to the five he scored in the return fixture with Sharks’ replies coming from two Tom O’Flaherty tries and one from Asher Opoku-Fordjour.
It meant the North Londoners ran out 19-85 winners to keep their play-off hopes alive and condemn Alex Sanderson’s men to another home defeat.
It took the visitors less than three minutes to get on scoresheet as Rotimi Segun crossed with Fergus Burke adding the extras.
A Max Malins break led to Caluori’s first and then with the game not even 20 minutes old, number 8 Tom Willis powered over to make it 0-19.
Wales prop Rhys Carre added a close range score and then Fergus Burke chased his own kick to dot down. Burke converted both but was off target minutes before half-time after Caluori dived over for his second try to make it 0-38 at the break.
Sharks came out in the second half with more energy and after a series of powerful carries, winger O’Flaherty crossed in the corner to put the home side on the board.
But that proved to be temporary relief as another break down the right wing led to Charlie Bracken diving under the posts. Burke converted to make it 5-45.
Then it was the Caluori show as the 19-year-old scored his third, fourth and fifth tries to stretch the lead to 5-66.
Sarries weren’t done and with 20 minutes to go, academy back row Nathan Michelow crossed. The conversion slipped wide but the lead was 5-71.
A Malins score and a Burke conversion made it 5-78 but Sharks hit back through another from O’Flaherty to make it 12-78.
Just two minutes later England back-row Ben Earl cantered through a gap to make it 12-85 and with the clock ticking towards 80, Asher Opoku-Fordjour stretched over to make it 19-83. Ford converted to make the final score 19-85.
