Nick Evans scores all of Harlequins' points with the boot to send the side back to the top of the Aviva Premiership.

Harlequins have returned to the top of the Aviva Premiership table with victory over Northampton Saints.

The low-scoring tie saw Quins take a 6-3 lead at half-time through two Nick Evans penalties.

The Saints had a dominant spell partway through the second half after the visitors were reduced to 14 men when James Johnston was sin-binned, but failed to find the try line, adding just three points to their score.

Evans continued to show his strong kicking form, completing a total of six successful penalties.

The win means the away side climb back to the top, having been replaced by Saracens who played earlier today.
