Bath put eight tries on the board as they bounced back from defeat against Bristol to extend their winning run over Gloucester in a high-scoring match at Kingsholm.

Gloucester led at the break by seven points through tries from Max Llewellyn, Tomos Williams and Charlie Atkinson, to one apiece from Beno Obano and Finn Russell.

But Bath came out firing after half-time, as Obano scored a second before Bayliss' try and a penalty try flipped the game on its head.

They added three more to just one from the Cherry and Whites and eventually surpassed 50 points to take a maximum five points and move up to third in the Premiership table.
