Alex Lozowski kicked 21 points as promoted Saracens won at Bristol Bears on their return to the Premiership.

Sarries, back in the top flight a year after being relegated for salary cap breaches, ground out a scrappy victory against last season's table-toppers.

Bristol fly-half Callum Sheedy and Lozowski traded penalties to leave the match poised at 9-9 at half-time.

Lozowski punished the Bears as their penalty count mounted, and then set up Alex Lewington for the game's only try.
