Harlequins have beaten Bath 14-6 to hand them their first defeat in three games this afternoon at the Stoop.

Fly-half Tom Heathcote fired Bath in front inside the opening minutes, before opposite number Nick Evans responded in kind to level the score.

Heathcote then doubled his tally in the final ten minutes of the first half to reestablish Ian McGeechan's men's lead at the break.

With 60 minutes gone, Evans again came up with the points for the home side to tie the score at six points apiece. He then added three more to his total to push the hosts ahead for the first time in the game.

Substitute Maurie Fa'asavalu added the only try of the afternoon in the final ten minutes to extend his team's lead and seal the game.
