Bath Rugby director of rugby Todd Blackadder: "I'm so pleased to finish this block of Premiership matches with five wins out of six. I'll take that any day. The boys put in a massive effort tonight. Defensively, once again, it was just so courageous, wasn't it?
"We just worked ourselves into the ground and through our defence we took those opportunities to score some points. That was outstanding. I didn't have a lot of expectations at the beginning. We've just taken it one week at a time. Even with that performance out there, we still have a lot of work-ons.
"We just get better every week, but there's a long way to go. I'm really encouraged by what I am seeing."
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond declined to give interviews afterwards but a club spokesman said he had highlighted the award of a penalty against Halani Aulika as the turning point. Play was brought back to Sale's 22 and Ford's penalty opened up Bath's lead to 16-3.
