Curtis Langdon powered in to score a try for Saints, but it was Fin Smith 's boot that made the difference against Newcastle Falcons Northampton Saints recorded their first victory of the Premiership season at Newcastle Falcons , who remain the only side yet to win in the competition.
Iwan Stephens crossed late on for bottom club Newcastle but Connon's missed conversion left them short. Yet they seldom bent the Northampton line despite their sizeable pack, and the fact most of their points came from kicks was evidence of that, also taking into account the slippery ball, which made handling more difficult.

We had lots of possession first half, we didn't really make it count. And ultimately, one mistake - congratulations to Northampton they took their one chance.
"We could have made it easier on ourselves first-half discipline-wise, but our composure to stay on track was very, very good and we got what we deserved.
