Washington: Bernie Sanders soundly defeated Hillary Clinton in Utah's Democratic caucuses late Tuesday, bringing his campaign a much-needed boost as he seeks to disrupt Clinton's path to the party's presidential nomination.

US networks projected Sanders was headed to a comprehensive victory in the western state, leading his rival by a whopping 50 percentage points in early results.

Earlier in the evening Clinton defeated Sanders in Arizona, a larger state with more delegates at stake.
