LONDON (Reuters) - Saracens produced a typically powerful defensive display to wear down Wasps 24-17 in a brutal all-English European Champions Cup semi-final on Saturday.

The Premiership's top two teams threw everything at each other in a compelling match and it was leaders Saracens who survived the second-half sin-binning of flyhalf Owen Farrell to reach the final for the second time in three years.
