Wigan Warriors emerged victorious in a chaotic, stormy and thrilling derby with St Helens as Magic Weekend ended with a bang at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Saints held a narrow half-time lead after a penalty goal from Jackson Hastings was followed by an exchange of tries, with Adam Kieghran going over for Wigan and Jake Davies responding for Paul Rowley's team.
Wigan scored second-half tries through Jai Field and Adam Eckersley to take command, but Jack Welsby reduced the deficit late on.
And in extraordinary scenes as the hooter went, a tackle off the ball presented Hastings with a chance to send the game to a golden point, but he sliced his kick wide to leave Wigan second in Super League.
