Wigan put the brakes on in-form Leeds Rhinos to deny them the chance to go top of the table with a dominant 24-4 victory at the Brick Community Stadium.
A sixth straight win on the bounce would have given Rhinos pole position over St Helens on points difference at the top of the Super League table.
But on a sobering night they delivered a disjointed performance against a resurgent Wigan who followed up a 32-0 Challenge Cup semi-final win over Saints with a four-try win.
Matt Peet's Wigan continued to put distance between them and a run of four straight Super League defeats during March and April, adding victory here to wins over Bradford and Saints.
Tries from Jack Farrimond, Adam Keighran and Noah Hodkinson gave Wigan a 16-0 half-time lead with Jake Wardle adding a fourth early in the second as the Rhinos were kept at arm's length throughout.
Maika Sivo provided Leeds' solitary response with an 18th try of the season in a better Rhinos second-half display but the home side were never in danger of giving up the lead.
