Jack Farrimond was among the try-scorers as Wigan saw off St Helens in the Magic Weekend derby
Wigan Warriors returned to the top of the Betfred Super League as they claimed a hard-fought 20-0 win over injury-hit St Helens in the Magic Weekend derby at Elland Road.
Liam Marshall’s 22nd try of the Super League season so far and teenager Jack Farrimond’s solo finish, plus three goals from Adam Keighran, put the reigning champions into a 14-point lead over their great rivals at half time.
Marshall and Zach Eckersley both had tries to extend Wigan’s lead ruled out after the break, but Sam Walters – thrust into the starting line-up after Liam Farrell’s late injury withdrawal – put the seal on the victory late on against a disjoined Saints side.
