The game turned further in Sale's favour after Robin Hislop's red card in the second-half.
He was dismissed for a high tackle on Sale fullback Joe Carpenter.
Reacting to the red card, one fan wrote: "No argument re it being red under the rules, leading arm was separated from body/ball so should have been looked at, would be good to have a proper referee’s view in the cold light of day."
Another commented: "Red card all day long, if you go to make a tackle and your upright, you can get pinged."
A third wrote: "Straight from the Owen Farrell School for Tackling!"
"Red card all day long, if you go to make a tackle and your upright, you can get pinged." wrote another annoyed supporter.
SARACENS RED CARD:
Five players Steve Borthwick should call-up after this weekend
Silky playmakers, speedy wingers, and a hooker who never gives up make up this weekends top 5. Here are the players who impressed the most on the international break.
#1. Harry Randall (Bristol Bears)
Bristol Bears beat Northampton Saints 62-8 at Ashton Gate on Friday night in Round 19 of the 2022/23 Gallagher Premiership
Bristol Live wrote: "The new Bristol captain is metaphorically banging down England head coach Steve Borthwick's door with performances like this as he was the catalyst for the Bears' attacking success all night in their best performance for two years."
#2. Marcus Smith (Harlequins)
Harlequins thrashed Exeter 40-5 to win Big Game 14 at Twickenham and move up to fifth place in the Premiership.
Marcus Smith showed why fans were delighted he was released by England as his wonderful chip over the Exeter line set Andre Esterhuizen free and he fed Murley for the opening try.
Player of the match Smith's tactical kicking was superb and he was at the centre of much that was good about his side's at times scintillating attacking play.
#3. Harry Potter (Leicester Tigers)
The Telegraph wrote: "The star of the Leicester show was uncapped wing Harry Potter, who inflicted untold mayhem upon Bath with the ball and tormented them without it.
"Potter is English-qualified, and only in December last year Borthwick – in his penultimate match as Tigers head coach – hailed Potter's Test potential. The Australian-born wing could not have done more to hold his former boss to his word on Sunday."
#4. Harry Thacker (Bristol Bears)
Bristol Live wrote: "The hooker was absolutely everywhere on the the pitch as he played the role as the key link man in multiple attacking moves while getting on the scoreboard himself."
#5. Joe Marchant (Harlequins)
