Leicester Tigers recorded a first Aviva Premiership win of the season at Welford Road as they condemned Bath to a first defeat of the season in style on Sunday.
The Tigers were in command for the majority of the match, and never lost hold of the lead they took in the opening five minutes. Richard Cockerill’s side were rarely troubled by an underwhelming Bath side, who suffered their heaviest Premiership defeat since December 2012.
