Sale Sharks were beaten for the seventh consecutive Aviva Premiership game this season, as they went down 23-16 at Worcester Warriors this evening.

Andy Goode scored 18 points - 13 with his boot - and David Lemi also touched down for the hosts.

Mark Cueto and Nick Mcleod both crossed over for Sale, but neither try was converted by an out-of-sorts Danny Cipriani.

However, Cipriani did successfully kick two penalties which saw the Salford club scrape a losing bonus point.

Sale remain firmly rooted to the bottom of the table, having taken two points from seven games.

Meanwhile, Worcester are eighth with 15 from seven.
