The game turned further in Sale’s favour after Robin Hislop’s red card in the second-half.
He was dismissed for a high tackle on Sale fullback Joe Carpenter.
Reacting to the red card, one fan wrote: “No argument re it being red under the rules, leading arm was separated from body/ball so should have been looked at, would be good to have a proper referee’s view in the cold light of day.”
Another commented: “Red card all day long, if you go to make a tackle and your upright, you can get pinged.”
A third wrote: “Straight from the Owen Farrell School for Tackling!”
